Expo 67 - Man and His World
Centered screenshoton the theme "Man and His World," the 1967 World's Fair showcased the best the 62 participating nations had to offer. The real star of the show, though, was Canada, the country that celebrated its centennial year at Expo '67 in Montreal. The site takes you on a virtual tour of the expo venue on Īle Notre-Dame in the St. Lawrence River. Gaze upon the inverted pyramid of the Canadian pavilion, the historic treasures of the Czechoslovakian pavilion, and the Buckminster Fuller designed American pavilion. News reports of the era tell of the initial controversies and eventual success of the expo, while the legacy section explains how the expo strengthened Montreal's infrastructure and even lead to the name of the city's baseball team. Jump in and relive the expo fun with games and souvenirs. No passport is required for this trip around the world and back in time. (in Recreation & Sports)
