Youth Program: From Waterline to Skyline

From sea to shining skyscrapers! Battery Park City is sandwiched between the building canyon of Broadway and the mouth of the mighty Hudson River. After a quick tour of the Museum’s gallery and its historic photographs of the lower Manhattan skyline, we will walk around the Museum’s block to point to skyscrapers that date from as early as 1900 to today, then continue around the park to view the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island. Then we’ll create a group drawing of a skyline in colored chalk on the sidewalk inspired by the buildings we see around us! Recommended for Pre-K-5th grade.

This program meets at the Skyscraper Museum, 39 Battery Pl. and is held principally outdoors. The gallery will be accessible: masks are required indoors. For outdoor activities, we follow current NYS guidelines.
