Artifact Overview
Many exhibits at the 1939-40 New York World's Fair tried to demonstrate to a depression-weary public that the future could be rosy if people just had faith. The hit of the General Motors pavilion, "Highways and Horizons," was Futurama, created by industrial designer Norman Bel Geddes and predicting a modernized America of 1960.
