The New York World's Fair was a large international exposition held in New York City, United States in 1939-1940. The 1939-1940 World's Fair was themed "The World of Tomorrow" and featured pavilions and exhibits from over 60 countries, displaying the latest innovations in science, technology, transportation, and design. Some of the most famous attractions at the fair included the iconic Trylon and Perisphere, a futuristic city display, and the Futurama exhibit, which gave visitors a glimpse into what life might be like in the year 1960.
