The Netherlands pavilion at Expo 67, Montreal, Quebec, Canada in 1967. It was designed by Wout Eijkelenboom, co-founder of EGM architects. The tube construction was composed of aluminium rods. Within the ‘space frame’ several areas were connected by escalators. At the end was a large hall, overlooking the St. Lawrence River and the city. 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’ – a vintage 1960s photograph.

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.
