As you have seen in these pages, there are dozens of ways to spend your day exploring culture in Queens.

A borough widely known for its spectrum of nationalities - Queens’ diversity rings true in its art as well. The people of Queens make the art come alive almost as much as the stalwart institutions.

Using this book as a guide, plan a series of days for yourself, your friends or your kids over the next several months to explore the rich culture that the institutions and people of Queens offer.

Whether you spend an afternoon looking for all your favorite hangouts on the Panorama, sign up for a class at the Women’s Studio Center or let yourself, your friends or your kids get caught up in the drum rhythms at the Museum for African Art, experience it all.

Take your time. There’s no need to rush. The art will always be there.
