“Return to the Rainbow City” Tour

02/01/2025 @ 12:00 p.m. - 1:00 p.m.

Enjoy a tour of our new Pan-American Exposition inside the Museum’s State Court.  “Return to the Rainbow City: Buffalo’s Pan-American Exposition,” recounts the story of the fair—its planning, construction, and legacy—and features a variety of Pan-Am artifacts, paintings, and photographs. The display includes nearly 100 Pan-Am keepsakes – from cups and mugs to paperweights and playing cards – that souvenir manufacturers created for the fair. Learn about the exhibits, the shows, and the people that drew 8 million visitors to our city.  Investigate the attractions and turn-of-the-century innovations that still impact Buffalo today.

The tour lasts one hour, costs $13 ($7 for members) and includes a souvenir map guide.

The tour begins promptly at 12PM.
