| Notes | The Century 21 Exposition took place between April 21 and October 21, 1962 and is also known as the Seattle World's Fair.
"The United States Science Exhibit presents the exciting story of science in a show unlike any ever seen before. It combines the techniques of a dozen graphic and theater arts, is part historical drama, part laboratory, part magic and all science. It crosses time and space as it takes audiences into the ocean depths and to the outer galaxies, from the beginning of the scientific era into the next century. It has as its dual aims 'to present the role of man in a search for truth in science' and 'to stimulate youths' interest in science.'" (Century 21 Exposition. (1962). Official Guide Book, Seattle World's Fair 1962. Seattle: Acme Publications. p. 8)
