About this event
Museum director and founder Carol Willis walks visitors through her own exhibition on how Park Avenue was conjured out of thin air — the roofing-over of the Grand Central rail yards that turned track beds into the city's most valuable real estate. A short, dense tour from the person who assembled the research, in a museum built around exactly this subject.
