This
is
a
small
but
relatively
inexpensive
($5-
$2.50
for
students
and
seniors)
architecture
museum
in
Lower
Manhattan.
The
museum
is
on
the
ground
and
first
floor
of
a
building
.
Its
a
little
hard
to
find
as
there
does
not
seem
to
be
a
sign
on
the
street
for
the
museum.
Its
across
from
the
Battery
Park
Esplanade
and
next
to
the
Museum
of
Jewish
Heritage.
The
Skyscraper
Museum
focuses,
as
the
name
suggests,
on
skyscrapers,
large
buildings
and
urban
infrastructure
in
general.The
museums
core
exhibit
is
on
super
large
buildings
in
various
parts
of
the
country
.
Their
is
a
mural
with
the
largest
skyscrapers
in
the
world-
both
already
built
and
planned-
each
represented
in
a
separate
magnet
so
you
can
compare
their
sizes.
Its
a
great
visual
aid
to
show
kids
their
relative
size
.
A
recently
opened
exhibit
is
on
building
density.It
explains
how
population
density
in
various
apartment
complexes
and
buildings
is
calculated
and
what
it
means
for
quality
of
life.
On
the
surface,
this
doesn't
sound
interesting
at
all
but
I
found
it
fascinating
as
to
how
density
equates
to
quality
of
life.
An
hour
or
two
is
all
that
is
needed
at
the
museum.
A
trip
there
,
especially
if
you
are
near
Lower
Manhattan
is
highly
recommended,
