Description

This 1962 bronze medal at 39mm from the SH-25-8 series depicts the World of Entertainment pavilion at the Century 21 Exposition. The entertainment dimension of the fair included performances, exhibits about the future of leisure, and demonstrations of emerging entertainment technologies. The pavilion represented the lighter side of the exposition's futuristic vision, imagining how Americans would spend their increasing leisure time in the coming decades. American commemorative medals document the nation's history through miniature sculptural art, preserving events, achievements, and personalities in a durable metallic format that has served collectors and historians for centuries. The bronze format made this an affordable souvenir for fairgoers who wanted to remember the entertainment programming alongside the more serious scientific and commercial exhibits.
