While we continue walking, just next to the Grandstand tennis court, we start seeing the biggest tennis stadium of the world! But before have a closer view of the stadium, we will walk south towards Avenue of the states, heading The Queens Museum. The Queens Museum, formerly the Queens Museum of Art, is an art museum and educational center, located in Flushing Meadows–Corona Park in the borough of Queens in New York City. The museum was founded in 1972, and has among its permanent exhibitions, the Panorama of the City of New York, a room-sized scale model of the five boroughs originally built for the 1964 New York World's Fair. The museum embarked on a $69 million expansion project in 2009, which was originally slated to be completed in October 2013. While we left the Queens museum, we are moving left towards the Unisphere, a spherical stainless steel representation of the Earth. The sphere, which measures 140 feet (43 m) high and 120 feet (37 m) in diameter. It was commissioned as part of the 1964 Fair. The Unisphere is one of the borough's most iconic and enduring symbols. The Unisphere has been used as a setting or backdrop for several films and episodes, including the movie Men in Black. Now we are moving right, to our final destination: The biggest tennis stadium of the world! This is “Freedom of the Human Spirit”, a massive bronze statue depicting a male and a female nude with wild swans soaring skyward. The Arthur Ashe stadium have seen Roger Federer win five times the US Open and in 2019, two Colombians made history winning for the first time this important Grand Slam!
