The City Reliquary LIVE on Instagram!

We’re excited to present our weekly lineup of City Reliquary: Home Edition virtual events! Every Tuesday – Wednesday – Thursday you can watch and participate in mini versions of City Reliquary signature events on Instagram! All programs will start at 8 pm EDT.

Tuesdays: Panorama Challenge: Home Edition

The Panorama Challenge is the City Reliquary’s annual trivia game that tests your knowledge of NYC landmarks and geography using a most unusual board: the Panorama of the City of New York, created for the 1964 World’s Fair and housed at the Queens Museum. Since 2007, we have been proud to host this event at the Queens Museum and to co-organize it with Levy’s Unique New York tour agency.

Quizmaster and GANYC tour guide Jonathan Turer hosts this series of virtual visits with past Panorama Challenge judges sharing their favorite tidbits of NYC trivia and classic questions of Panorama Challenges past. See how well you know your city!

Wednesdays: Miss Subways: Home Edition

The Miss Subways Extravaganza is a night of fabulous performances celebrating the heart of NYC, our mass transit system! Inspired by the Miss Subways pageants held in NYC between 1941 and 1976, contestants vie for the Transit Tiara awarded by a panel of celebrity judges. The City Reliquary and Riders Alliance have co-produced this event since 2017.

On Wednesdays, Alex Low will host a series of performances by Miss Subways champions and competitors past and present! Tune in for a bit of subway busking and other entertainment in your home!

Thursdays: Collectors’ Night: Home Edition

Collectors’ Night, our annual celebration of collectors and their unique and intriguing collections, has been a City Reliquary tradition since 2005! This event allows collectors to show off their obsessive labors of love, from the mundane to the eccentric, and share stories about their inspiration and process.

Aniela Coveleski hosts an online interview each Wednesday with a collector of fascinating objects, going in depth with their favorite items and how their collections came to be!

If you have a collection, a subway-themed performance, or specialized NYC trivia knowledge that you’re interested in sharing with City Reliquary friends and neighbors, please get in touch with us at [email protected]!
