GREECE |
Greece, proud of its modernity and its antiquity alike, celebrates both in this pavilion. The long front of the building reflects the nation's classical heritage. Wide steps lead up to a vast pedimented doorway, above which men and chariots parade in a frieze 120 feet long. A statue of Zeus stands in front of the building. Inside, the visitor finds evidence of the modern nation's accomplishments. Large photo-murals give a view of the Athens of today as seen through the pillars of the Parthenon. Other displays reflect the nation's industrial development, agricultural progress and contemporary sculpture and ceramics. Several shops sell Greek Products, and there is a restaurant.
| Inside the pavilion visitors were treated to displays that included a scale model of the Parthenon, maps showing the spread of the Greek civilization and exhibits promoting the country's industrial and tourist industries. (CD6 Set 30 #28) |
