COMBINE WITH ONGOING
EXHIBIT
Ongoing Exhibit:
Remembering Yesterday:
Queens and Its Worlds Fairs
Remembering is both a
collective and a personal
activity. In this exhibition, both
are on display in relation to
two Worlds Fairs that took
place in Flushing, Queens in
1939/40 and 1964/65. Within
this exhibition, collective
memory is represented by
shared experiences of the
Fairs and personal memory by
the memorabilia drawn from
the collections of people who
attended and fondly recall the
Fairs. While these Fairs were
global in scope, their
attendees were
overwhelmingly local, many
residing in Queens. All items
on display in the exhibition
have either been donated or
loaned to the Queens
Historical Society by those
residents of Queens who
attended these Fairs. Open
Tuesdays, Saturdays, and
Sundays, 2:30-4:30pm
through May 31, 2015.
