The Queens Museum's Panorama is the largest model of New York City .

The model was built for the 1964 New York World’s Fair , then the largest international exhibition in the US , aimed at spotlighting the city's innovation.

At 9,335 square feet , the model contains around 895,000 replica buildings, including skyscrapers, museums and churches.

The Panorama of The City of New York was updated in 1992 .

The model is the only time it has ever been removed from the room it currently sits in.

To maintain its appearance, it is cleaned by the museum in its entirety at least twice a year.

The museum would like to digitally add subway lines, which do not currently feature on the model.
