The New York State Pavilion, built for the 1964-65 New York World’s Fair and designed by architect Philip Johnson, consisted of three sections: the observation towers, the Theaterama, and the Tent of Tomorrow. About six million fairgoers once entered the Tent of Tomorrow to experience live performances, use a microwave oven to heat their lunch, ride a high speed escalator, and walk along the highways of a huge map. It was the largest and tallest pavilion at the World’s Fair.
