Presented by The Skyscraper Museum

The Skyscraper Museum is devoted to the study of high-rise building, past, present, and future. The Museum explores tall buildings as objects of design, products of technology, sites of construction, investments in real estate, and places of work and residence. This site will look better in a browser that supports web standards, but it is accessible to any browser or Internet device.

Feedback is essential to the continued success of this project and we request that educators respond to a survey after use of the resource in the classroom. Tower Tube resources are re-usable and one Tube may serve for several classrooms. We will consider written requests for additional tubes in New York City Public Schools.

Please use the form below to request a Tower Tube.

Provide a short profile of the school and classroom where the Tower Tube will be used (2-3 sentences). How do you think the Tower Tube will fit into your current curriculum?
* Please note, K-6 teachers will receive the elementary Tower Tube, while teachers for grades 7-12 will receive the Tower Tube for secondary school. Indicate a request for an alternative preference here, as necessary.

Have you already scheduled a tour for your students?
We hope you are interested in a tour for your students as the Tower Tube works best in conjunction with a gallery visit. Please see "School Visits" on the menu bar for complete information on scheduling a tour.
