Summary:
When the gates of the 1964–1965 New York World’s Fair swung open on
April 24, 1964, the first of more than 51 million lucky visitors
entered, ready to witness the cutting edge of worldwide technology
and progress. Faced with a disappointing lack of foreign participants
due to political contention, the fair instead showcased the best of
American industry and science. While multimillion-dollar pavilions
predicted colonies on the moon and hotels under the ocean, other
forecasts, such as the promises of computer technology, have
surpassed even the most optimistic predictions of the fair. The
1964–1965 New York World’s Fair: Creation and Legacy uses rare,
previously unpublished photographs to examine the creation of the
fair and the legacies left behind for future generations.
