"Unisphere: The Biggest World on Earth" Pt. 1

The Unisphere has been featured in the hit movie Men in Black and in the opening credits of the television sitcom The King of Queens, and is also featured prominently in bumper shots on the Late Show with David Letterman. It was also the finishing point of The Amazing Race 1 when Rob & Brennan are the winners. Time Capsule, the greatest hits album by The B-52's, uses the band members in front of the Unisphere on the album cover. The Beastie Boys pose in front of it in a photo from their album "Licensed to Ill."

Reggae artist Cutty Ranks filmed his music video for his hit single The Stopper (1991) where the Unisphere is seen. Also, hip-hop artists A Tribe Called Quest (Award Tour), Craig Mack (Flava In Ya Ear) and M.O.P. (World Famous) have done music videos in which parts are done in front of the Unisphere.

The plot of the Law and Order: Criminal Intent episode "World's Fair" revolves around the murder of a woman found dead at the base of the Unisphere.

The Unisphere is featured in Flight of the Conchords (TV series) episode "Yoko" in which Bret and Jemaine sing a song to Coco at the Unisphere.

A structure very similar to the Unisphere, called the Monosphere, (as well as the New York State Pavilion) can be seen in the borough of Dukes in the video game Grand Theft Auto IV.

This film makes it look easy...I am going to make one!

Does anyone know where the model of the Unisphere that appears at the beginning of this film is today? I would assume in a USS office or museum.
