About the Queens Museum
In Queens, New York City, within Flushing Meadows–Corona Park, stands the Queens Museum, previously named the Queens Museum of Art. This art museum and education center was established in 1972. It includes the Panorama, which reproduces the five boroughs at small scale in a single room and was made for the 1964 World's Fair. The collection also has a big archive of artifacts from the 1939 and 1964 fairs, some of them exhibited.
Its building was put up for the 1939 World's Fair, where it was the city pavilion, designed by the architect Aymar Embury II. Nearly every other fair structure was meant to be torn down, but this pavilion was meant to stay. Skaters used it as an ice and roller rink in the 1940s and 1950s, apart from 1946 to 1951, when the United Nations General Assembly met inside. The 1964 World's Fair used it as the city pavilion again, and it was saved afterward.
In November 1972 the museum opened in the building's northern part. Work in the late 1970s added a community gallery, and work in the 1990s created an entrance on the east side. During a large expansion in the 2010s, the ice rink closed.
How it prints
Make this print opens the generator on a 600 m square around the landmark. Buildings print at close to true scale, so the landmark grows with the print size.
| Print size | Landmark height | Scale |
|---|---|---|
| 160 mm default | 4 mm | 1:3,750 |
| 200 mm | 5 mm | 1:3,000 |
| 256 mm | 7 mm | 1:2,344 |

- Long, low roofline
- The building is wide and only a few stories tall, with two skylight blocks on the roof. A larger print size keeps the roof details from blurring together.
- Rows of slim columns
- Thin vertical lines run along the long facades. Print friendly adapts these slender pieces to the print scale; Full detail keeps them, and 0.12–0.16 mm layers keep them crisp.
- One piece with the ground
- The Queens Museum is joined to the ground in the exported file, and the four-side check found no floating parts, so nothing needs gluing.
- Pick the detail for your nozzle
- In the Buildings settings, set Landmark detail to Print friendly to adapt thin parts and small details to the print scale. Full detail keeps every modeled feature, for larger prints or a finer nozzle.
- Colors
- Buildings, roads, water and ground arrive as separate filament slots in the 3MF. The Queens Museum takes the building color.
- File format
- You get a 3MF for Bambu Studio, OrcaSlicer or PrusaSlicer. Any of them can save it as STL if you need one.
About this model
The Queens Museum is one of more than 2,300 landmark models in Mini Skyline. They are made with AI, and each one is checked from four sides in its real surroundings before release. Everything around it is built from OpenStreetMap and Overture map data. If you would rather print the shape from map data, turn off Landmark models in the Buildings settings.
Common questions
Is there a Queens Museum STL I can download?
Mini Skyline builds the file for you in your browser and exports 3MF, which every major slicer opens. If you need an STL, open the 3MF in your slicer and export it from there.
How big can I print it?
Any print size from 40 mm across. The Queens Museum grows with the print: about 4 mm tall on the default 160 mm print. For a model larger than your printer bed, Project Mode splits the area into tiles.
Is it free?
Yes. Generation runs in your browser, with no account and nothing behind a paywall.
