Officially opened in 1952, The United Nations Headquarters in New York City remains the one place on Earth where all the world’s nations can come together, discuss common problems, and find shared solutions that benefit all of humanity. And no areas at the complex encompass those values more than the Conference Building and General Assembly, which contains the meeting spaces where world leaders and representatives of the UN's 193 member states and two permanent observers meet to address pressing global issues. It's time to explore this iconic Manhattan and international landmark like never before.

Join New York Adventure Club for an exclusive, after-hours tour of the United Nations Headquarters, with a focus on the historic architecture and art throughout the General Assembly and Conference Building's most treasured spaces.

Led by one of the top docents at the United Nations, this intimate 20-person experience will include:

• The origin story of the UN Headquarters, from how it almost ended up being built in Philadelphia to its striking modernist design by a team of renowned architects including Le Corbusier and Oscar Niemeyer
• A custom-made NY Adventure Club route through the United Nations, with stops at the UN Plaza, General Assembly Lobby, important meeting spaces, and more
• Special access to all three mains meeting rooms: Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) Chamber, Security Council Chamber, and General Assembly Hall
• An appreciation of the complex's modernist design and international style, which developed through the collaborative effort of 11 renowned architects from around the world
• A close look at several pieces from the UN's unique art collection, featuring the works of prominent artists such as Marc Chagall, Candido Portinari, Arnaldo Pomodoro, Barbara Hepworth and Henry Moore
