For my Wikipedia Article about the Queens Museum I plan to contribute about the World's Fair exhibit or create a section about the World's Fair exhibit and discuss why it is historically significant in relation to the Queen's Museum itself, and what the exhibit displays. Resource 1 is just to briefly discuss how the world's fair occurred at the Queen's Museum before it became known as the Queen's Museum, and to show a pat of what the World's fair exhibit represents. Resource 2 is to show what the exhibit display's and its relation to the historical significance of the World's fair. More resources and Citations will be added to better elaborate on this visible display/exhibit and its historical significance.

Notes (10/27/16) For editing Queens Museum Article:

Since it is missing a section about the historical significance of Queens Museum I would add a new section:

World's Fair Display:

• The World's Fair Display incorporates items donated that were apart of the World's Fair in 1964.
• The 1964 World's Fair actually took place where the Queens Museum is
• Queens Museum historical background shows significant events, such as the WOrld's Fair of 164 about technological innovations that occurred here
• Gift shop incorporates some of the items from the World's Fair
• (More Details will be added/Elaborated)

Long Term Display:

World's Fair Visual Storage and Gallery

Located on the second floor of the Queens Museum, this exhibit has items from both the 1939 and 1964 World's Fair. This exhibit has a long term history with Queens Museum because both the 1939 and 1964 World's Fair were held at Flushing Meadows- Corona Park, which is the where the museum is present today. The 1939 collection displays the theme of, "Building the World of tomorrow." The 1964 World's Fair display encompasses the technological accomplishments achieved at that time. This visual display contains over 10,000 items from the fairs together.

Building History

" ...United Nations General Assembly, and was the site of numerous defining moments in the UN’s early years, including the creation of UNICEF, the partitions of both Korea and Palestine, the adoption of the “Uniting for Peace” resolution in 1950 and more."

minor edit to add a little more information regarding the United Nations association with the building of Queens Museum
