Discovery Times Square (also known as Discovery TSX) was an exhibition space at 226 West 44th Street in
New York City that opened June 24, 2009 and closed in September 2016. It specialized in traveling exhibitions with 60,000 square feet of exhibition space [1] It was one of several exhibition spaces that catered to
Times Square tourists (the others being
Madame Tussauds and
Ripley's Believe It or Not!).
Operated by
Discovery Communications and Running Subway Productions, it was located in
Times Square in the basement in the former printing plant area of
The Times Square Building (the former New York Times Building).[2] Its goal was "to create a home for traveling exhibitions that local museums might find either too large, too expensive, too nondisciplinary or too commercial for their nonprofit attention."[3]
The President of Discovery Times Square was James Sanna.[4] The museum had two directors, Guy Gsell from opening through November 2011[5] and Jim Arnemann from 2011 through closing.[6] Discovery closed without public notice in September 2016.
