Mission

The Skyscraper Museum is a not-for-profit educational corporation that explores the themes of urban vitality, identity and culture. Located in Lower Manhattan, the museum is the only institution in this country devoted to the story of tall buildings past, present and future. Through exhibitions, collections, programs and our website, the museum explores the role of tall buildings as objects of design, products of technology, sites of construction, investments in real estate, places of work and residence and powerful cultural symbols. The gallery is a work of contemporary architecture by Roger Duffy of Skidmore, Owings and Merrill. Using the reflections of a mirror-polish stainless steel floor and ceiling, the design creates an impression of endless vertical towers.

About
