As the name suggests, you will find the Queens Museum at the Flushing Meadows-Corona Park in Queens.

The museum currently has a collection of fine arts dating all the way back to the late 1930s. Admission at the museum is only $8 per person, so there is absolutely no reason why you are missing out on this experience.
