The 1939–1940 New York World's Fair, held at Flushing Meadows–Corona Park in Queens, New York, was the second-most expensive American world's fair of all time, exceeded only by St. Louis's Louisiana Purchase Exposition of 1904. Many countries around the world participated, and over 44 million people attended the exhibits in two seasons. It was the first exposition to be based on the future, with an opening slogan of "Dawn of a New Day," and it allowed visitors to view "the world of tomorrow."
