Michelle V. Agins/The New York Times The Queens Museum of Art is changing its name.The 9,335-square-foot Panorama of New York City will still be there, but the familiar logo for the Queens Museum of Art will not. The cultural institution in Flushing Meadows-Corona Park is changing its name to the Queens Museum. The renaming accompanies a planned $65-million, 50,000-square-foot expansion that is scheduled to be finished in October.
“While this is a time of tremendous change for the Queens Museum, what will remain constant is our dedication to openness and engagement,†said Tom Finkelpearl, the museum’s executive director. Mr. Finkelpearl said the museum’s programming will still cater to the borough’s diverse communities, including initiatives designed for visitors with special needs, gays, teens and immigrants.
