The British Pavilion

The pavilion's exhibit was split into several different sections:
Shaping Britain dealt with Britain's earliest history, through a presentation of film and light effects.

The Genius of Britain used a 3 dimensional mural to display great figures of Britain's past.
Britain Today was a series of tableaux which depicted modern Britain of 1967.

Britain's technological achievements were highlighted in the section Industrial Britain.
Britain in the World was a message of peace, depicted by giant metal sculptures which expressed goodwill and fellowship of man.
I love the Britain Today section, it was totally cool! Being a window dresser, I dig the displays that were set up like store windows, using mannequins and props to convey the feeling of Britain in the 60's...

That last picture really does look like a window set-up... cool!
Very interesting!
Makes sense when you think of the space age look of some of these pavilions.
