More information on Skyscraper Museum (The)
Wowed by the sheer verticality in this town? Awed by the architectural marvel that is the high-rise? You're not alone. If you'd like to learn more about the technology, culture, and muscle behind it all, seek out this formerly itinerant museum, which moved into its first permanent home in 2004 in the 38-story Skidmore, Owings & Merrill tower that also houses the Ritz-Carlton New York, Battery Park. The new space comprises two galleries, one housing a permanent exhibition dedicated to the evolution of Manhattan's commercial skyline, the other for changing shows. In 2007 the museum featured "Giants: The Twin Towers and the Twentieth Century", about the building of the World Trade Center (and not the destruction of) including video documentaries and memorabilia.

Please be sure to confirm all rates and details directly with the companies in question before planning your trip.
