Forgive me if this has been covered before - a search didn't bring it up, but I could have missed something.
I'm just trying to work out the locations of the two prominent Ghostbusters museums as they appear within the world of Ghostbusters itself. I'm aware that the GB2 museum is really in Battery Park, but am I right in thinking the fiction of the film puts it at the south east corner of Central Park?* That appears to be where the clouds are swirling, at least! I couldn't swear to where the matte painting model shot puts it at the end of the film, because I don't know New York well enough, but is that roughly correct?
Likewise, in the video game, am I right in thinking the opening cinematic puts that museum more or less in Washington Square? All I can find refers to it as the Natural History Museum, but that opening shot certainly isn't in Central Park! My Manhattan geography is rusty, so any better info would be gratefully received.
Cheers!
*This one particularly bugs me, as it's often mentioned that it's a continuity error having the Statue of Liberty walk up 5th to get to Battery Park. If the museum is actually in Central Park in the world of the film, does that trip suddenly make more sense?
