A new exhibition at The Wolfsonian–Florida International University (FIU) is currently on view in Miami showcasing the wonders of 19th and 20th-century world’s fairs.

Called World’s Fairs: Visions of Tomorrow, the exhibition draws from The Wolfsonian’s collection of world’s fair materials. It will feature nearly 80 works, including posters, design drawings, photographs, ephemera, sculpture, souvenirs, and furniture.
