  • Simon Willison highly recommends visiting the “He Built This City: Joe Macken’s Model” exhibition at the Museum of the City of New York.
  • The exhibition showcases a massive 50 x 27 feet model of the city, meticulously built from balsa wood and cardboard over a 21-year period.
  • Readers are urged to prioritize seeing the exhibition, as it closes soon on October 12th, 2026.
