請依下文回答第 11 題至第 15 題 Inside the Queens Museum in New York City there is another New York City. It is a 50-year-old model of
the town 11 every street, building and park was reproduced in small.The so-called “Panorama of the City
of New York” was built as an exhibit for the New York World’s Fair in 1964. Over time, artists added to the
model. Now it represents the way the city looked in 1992. The model is huge. It covers 870 square meters.
Visitors to the Panorama observe from beside and above it 12 day turns to night every 20 minutes. Little
lights shine from buildings until the morning light appears.
Hitomi Iwasaki is the museum exhibitions organizer and director. She says the Panorama presents an
unusual problem 13 it is the museum’s main appeal.“No matter what fantastic exhibition you think you
put outside, everybody goes back to the Panorama and goes ‘wow!’”Currently the Queens Museum is
celebrating the 50th anniversary of the fair and the Panorama. The show is called “Bringing the World Into
the World.” Ms. Iwasaki said she decided not to try to compete with the Panorama. Instead she made it part
of the exhibition.The show includes the museum’s largest piece, the Panorama. It also includes its
smallest piece: a microscopic reproduction of the Queens Museum itself. Artist and engineer Jessica
Rylan created that piece 14 nanotechnology. It is just 120 micrometers long and it cannot be seen
by visitors. Guess why? It is hidden inside the model of the Queens Museum itself within the panorama
of New York City. 15 objects include a scale model of our solar system made in 1983 by artist Chris
Burden. The sun hangs over the panorama of New York City. Earth, Mercury, Mars and Venus hang in other
museum rooms. The show at the Queens Museum in New York City will end October 14th.
