He Built This City

תקציר מקורי באנגלית<p>I visited the Museum of the City of New York today and got to see <a href="https://www.mcny.org/exhibition/he-built-city">He Built This City: Joe Macken’s Model</a>, the 50 x27 feet model of the city built over a 21 year period from balsa wood and cardboard.</p> <p>It exceeded my already high expectations. The exhibition closes on 12th October so you should absolutely make a priority to see it if you get the chance.</p> <p><img alt="A wide shot of the model of the island of Manhattan, plus the edge of Brooklyn.
