The USSR pavilion (Soviet Union, URSS or Moscow Pavilion) at Expo 67, Montreal, Quebec, Canada in 1967. It was designed by a team of architects led by Mikhail Posokhin. Since the 1990s the pavilion has been best known as the Moscow Pavilion. The elevated track round the site was a 3-loop monorail called the ‘Minirail’ – here a train is travelling past the pavilion (left) – a vintage 1960s photograph.
The USSR pavilion (Soviet Union, URSS or Moscow Pavilion) at Expo 67, Montreal, Quebec, Canada in 1967. It was designed by a team of architects led by Mikhail Posokhin. Since the 1990s the pavilion has been best known as the Moscow Pavilion. The 1967 World Exposition (or World's Fair) – ‘Expo 67’ – was situated on island site on the St Lawrence River. Its theme was ‘Man and his World’. The attraction lived on after 1967 during summer months and finally closed in 1981. The elevated track round the site was a 3-loop monorail called the ‘Minirail’ – here a train is travelling past the pavilion (left). This image is from an old amateur Kodak colour transparency taken by a visitor to the fair. It will look soft if used at too large a size – a vintage 1960s photograph.
