Radio City Music Hall is part of the Rockefeller Center complex. It is one among many examples of New York Art Deco represented in this exhibition. The building was constructed in the depths of the Great Depression and became a symbol of hope. Its grand neon marquee is one of the most famous sites in New York City.

Scot:

One of the great Art Deco buildings in New York. If you ever have the chance, take the tour. You'll see much more than if you just saw a show there. If you take the tour, you can see Roxie's Art Deco apartment. The auditorium is superb!
