The 1939–40 New York World's Fair, which covered the 1,216 acres (492 ha)
of Flushing Meadows-Corona Park (also the location of the 1964–1965 New York
World's Fair), was the second most expansive American world's fair of all time,
exceeded only by St. Louis's Louisiana Purchase Exposition of 1904. Many
countries around the world participated in it, and over 44 million people
attended its exhibits in two seasons.[1] The NYWF of 1939–1940 was the first
exposition to be based on the future, with an opening slogan of "Dawn of a
New Day", and it allowed all visitors to take a look at "the world of
tomorrow". 


 


According to the official New York World's Fair pamphlet:


The eyes of the Fair are on the future — not in the sense of peering toward
the unknown nor attempting to foretell the events of tomorrow and the shape of
things to come, but in the sense of presenting a new and clearer view of today
in preparation for tomorrow; a view of the forces and ideas that prevail as
well as the machines.


To its visitors the Fair will say: "Here are the materials, ideas, and
forces at work in our world. These are the tools with which the World of
Tomorrow must be made. They are all interesting and much effort has been
expended to lay them before you in an interesting way. Familiarity with today
is the best preparation for the future.
