HALL OF SCIENCE

In one big pavilion, 11 companies and organizations present displays devoted to recent and imminent advances in scientific knowledge - including the simulated meeting in orbit of two space vehicles. The building itself, a permanent structure, will become the New York Museum of Science and Technology.

The Hall of Science was one of the last buildings completed for the Fair, not opening until well into the 1964 season. (CD19 Set 100 #4)  


 

Taken inside the spacious Great Hall, this view shows the glass blocks that were used in the construction. Translucent, they allow light from the outside to illuminate the wall in a wide variety of patterns. (CD15 Set 73 #5)
