SWEDEN

This pavilion, dedicated to the theme of "Creative Sweden," is a testimonial to that nation's private enterprise. Sponsored by leading industries and businesses, it has three main sections: a large "Hall of Industry" featuring exhibits of Swedish technology and products, a miniature branch of Sweden's largest department store and a restaurant specializing in authentic Swedish smorgasbord.

This view of Sweden is from the New York State tower. The starkly angular pavilion was unusual in that it didn't offer any films or shows, concentrating instead on presenting the commercial benefits of the country. (CD10 Set 54 #8)  


 

Taken on a slow day in September 1965, this photo doesn't give any hint of the huge crowds that would soon arrive for one last look at the Fair. (CD20 Set 105 #19)
