The expanded museum reopened in November 2013 with a new entrance at Grand Central Parkway. The ice skating rink, which had occupied the southern half of the building for six decades, was relocated to a new facility in the northeastern section of Flushing Meadows–Corona Park. Grimshaw Architects, along with the engineering firm of Ammann & Whitney, developed plans to add an additional 50,000 square feet (4,600 m 2) of exhibition, education and office space as well as eight new artist studios, thereby doubling the museum's size to 100,000 square feet (9,300 m 2), as it will take over the entire New York City Building. The museum embarked on a $69 million expansion project in 2009, which was originally slated to be completed in October 2013. For many years, half of the building was an ice skating rink.

In 1994, the building underwent a further renovation, with architect Rafael Viñoly reconfiguring the structure into galleries, classrooms, and offices. In 1972, with minor alterations, the north side of the New York City building was converted into the Queens Center for Art and Culture, later renamed the Queens Museum of Art.

The 1939 Billy Rose Aquacade and Amphiteater was also renovated for the 1964–65 World's Fair, but fell into disrepair in the 1980s and was torn down in 1996. In 1964, the building was renovated by architect Daniel Chait and was once again used as the New York City Pavilion for the 1964 World's Fair, where it displayed the Panorama of the City of New York, which is still on display. From 1946 to 1950, the pavilion was the temporary home of the United Nations General Assembly, and was the site of numerous defining moments in the UN's early years, including the creation of UNICEF, the partition of Korea and the authorization by the UN of the creation of Israel.

The Queens Museum is located in the New York City Building, the historic pavilion designed by architect Aymar Embury II for the 1939 World's Fair. Plaque outside the museum commemorating the UN General Assembly meeting on the site from 1946 to 1950
