Exciting news from People for the Pavilion, the organization dedicated to the preservation and reuse of the New York State Pavilion in Flushing Meadows-Corona Park. Here is their announcement this morning:
First and foremost, we’re excited to announce that on Tuesday, April 22, the 50th Anniversary of the opening of the New York State Pavilion, the structure will be opened to the public for the first time in decades thanks to the work of the New York State Pavilion Paint Project Crew, as well as the New York City Department of Parks and Recreation.
On April 22nd Between 11:00 AM and 2:00 PM, the north gate of the Pavilion will be opened to allow limited access so guests can view and take photos of the inside of the structure. Hardhats are required and will be provided for our visitors, RSVP’s are not required to attend.
Open to the public for the first time in decades — that is awesome news indeed. In recent months, People for the Pavilion have worked closely with the Parks Department, Borough President and the community to figure out a second life for the iconic Philip Johnson design, built for the World’s Fair.

Is this left from the 1939 Worlds air???
1964 World’s Fair: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1964_New_York_World%27s_Fair
It was on the same site as 1939.
Fantastic! I haven’t been in this building since 1964 – and I’m looking forward to seeing if I can visit it again on this brief occasion.
