Centuries of Progress: American World’s Fairs, 1853-1982
This new exhibition will make its premier stop at Price Tower Arts Center.
From 1853 until the 1982 fair in Knoxville, TN, international expositions have celebrated progress, trade and goodwill - a marketplace of ideas and technological innovation. Many familiar consumer goods from Wonder Bread to Juicy Fruit gum were introduced or 
popularized at world's fairs. Learn through memorabilia how the fairs shaped both our American experience and our world view, while promising a better standard of living for all.
