The 5 Best History Museums in Queens, Queens
Queens is the most ethnically diverse area of its size on Earth, which means there's a little something for everyone. Chow down on Indian food, sit in on a traditional Irish pub music session, and dance the night away at a Puerto Rican nightclub, all of it located within a few subway stops. Queens is also the home of the Mets and the US Tennis Open, and the former home of the New York World's Fair, now Flushing Meadow-Corona Park, and Paramount Pictures, now the Museum of the Moving Image.

The legacy of the legendary jazz instrumentalist and vocalist, Louis Armstrong, is preserved at this Queens museum.
Reviewed By christopherbO9687MP - Acton, United States
I enjoyed visiting the Louis Armstrong home for its fine collection of memorabilia (he tended to collect a lot of music-related artifacts during his many trips) and because his wife made sure the house remained pretty much as it was furnished when he passed away in 1971. Many of the rooms have the decor that was popular in the 1960s & 1970s (the kitchen was a classic from that era). Interesting to both music fans and architecture fans will be Louis' restored den, which is laid out as the miniature recording studio he used for the last years of his life. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable about Armstrong's overall life history and his impact on the American & international jazz scene. The gift shop has a lot of historic Armstrong recordings available. Note a much larger Louis Armstrong Museum welcome center (the existing house will remain pretty much as it is) is under construction to hold all of his historic artifacts; fans might want to wait until 2020 when that Center opens.
