Rising from the ashes of World War II, the United Nations has stood as a voice of reason in the struggle for peace and security in the world. It is common ground to the international population. The buildings that comprise UN Headquarters offer refuge from the fast lane of New York and a vision of international ideals.
History is made here daily.
Visitors will also enjoy works of art by such noted artists as Marc Chagall, Henry Moore, Pablo Picasso, and Norman Rockwell. The UN Postal Administration sells unique stamps, collectors' items that can be obtained and posted only from the UN Building. Any class studying world affairs will benefit tremendously from a tour. Group guided tours cost the same, with 1 FREE ticket for every 20 purchased. FREE tickets are sometimes available for official meetings.
