Art deco interior decorations inside Rockefeller Center

Take a few minutes to enjoy the journey inside — there’s a mini art deco gallery tucked into the everyday flow.

Photo-Friendly Details

  • Brass, light fixtures, and geometric reliefs worthy of close study.
  • Staircases with sweeping curves and strong shadows.
  • Hallway symmetry that invites centered compositions.

Mini Tour (10–15 Minutes)

  1. Main hall: scan for reliefs and metallic flourishes.
  2. Corridors: find repeating light fixtures for rhythm shots.
  3. Stair details: play with perspective and shadow.

Lens Tip: 50mm to isolate patterns without distortion; 24–35mm for environmental context.


Bottom Line

The inside is a warm-up — arrive a bit early and explore a few corners before you ascend.
