The 1930s World's fair of Chicago, San Diego, Cleveland, Dallas, San Francisco and New York City drew tens of millions of Depression-weary Americans hungry for visions of a technological future of ease and abundance. This exhibit collects some 200 artifacts from momentous occasions, for which firms like Westinghouse and General Motors team up with visionary designers such as Raymond Loewy, Henry Dryfuss and Walter Dorwin Teague to lay the groundwork for our modern consumer culture for better or for worse.
