Exhibit: "Centuries of Progress"

"Centuries of Progress" offers a trip back in time to the century that brought us one of the greatest exhibitions of international culture, the World’s Fair. With over 125 objects, photographs and ephemera, this exhibit gives visitors a look at the many pieces that made up the 17 fairs that took place on American soil. Starting in 1853 with the Crystal Palace exhibition in New York through the 1982 World’s Fair in Knoxville, Tennessee, this exhibit breaks the fairs down into six exciting categories that truly offer a sense of attending a World’s Fair.
