This is a great contrast — I'm hoping to make it out to see this in person. I'm curious to learn what happened here that caused the Smithsonian to take such a limited view. 

Thanks for resurfacing Anton's piece as well. He did a great job of highlighting some of the specifics. It's super important that the Fair promote a sense of agency -- that visitors of all types can see someone like them building the future. As Anton writes "Visitors would naturally meet the inventors and scientists and engineers who developed it all, too."
