NY World's Fair

Photographs of the New York World's Fair

In the early 1960's, New York was again host to the World's Fair. Major companies, such as GM and Ford had pavillions, and US Steel built the Unisphere, which still exists today. Several movies, such as "The Wiz" and "Men in Black" have also used these sites as incidental backdrops. (Photos courtesy JNY Labs. Used with permission)
