Free, but limited to ADSW members and members of other Art Deco societies

A first-of-its-kind exhibition, Designing Tomorrow will feature nearly 200 neverbefore-assembled artifacts including building models, architectural remnants, drawings, paintings, prints, furniture, an original RCA TRK-12 television, Elektro the Moto-Man robot, and period film footage.

The artifacts are drawn from the featured expositions: Chicago, IL—Century of Progress (1933–34); San Diego, CA—California-Pacific International Exposition (1935-1936); Dallas, TX—Texas Centennial Exposition (1936); Cleveland, OH—Great Lakes International Exposition (1936-1937); San Francisco, CA— Golden Gate International Exposition (1939-1940); and New York, NY—New York World's Fair (1939-1940).

Get the "inside dope" on Designing Tomorrow from the curators who helped develop the exhibition as they take Art Deco society members on a private tour. Public tours of the exhibition will not begin until late October.

Space is limited for this special tour, so early booking is a must.
