Queens Museum and the World's Fair

In this video we will take a look at the Queens Museum in Flushing-Meadows Corona Park. I will especially focus on the history of the World’s Fair which the park hosted twice - in 1939 and 1964. I hope you enjoy! Photos from archives: 1. New York Public Library Digital Collections, Manuscripts and Archives Division, "New York World's Fair - Publicity Posters - NYWF 1939 poster". 2.
