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. Amongst the interior displays in the steel and glass pavilion were a relief sculpture of Lenin (left), a sputnik (right) and a giant electronic circuit board. The attraction lived on after 1967 during summer months and finally closed in 1981. This image is from an old amateur Kodak colour transparency taken by a visitor to the fair – 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 steel and glass pavilion has been best known as the Moscow Pavilion. Amongst the interior displays were a relief sculpture of Lenin (left), a sputnik (right) and a giant electronic circuit board. 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. 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.
