Everyone to Expo 67
1967
In 1967, Montréal hosts the World’s Fair. Countries from around the world present their pavilions. A little elevated train carries visitors above the site!
Look together
Where does the little train run?
An idea to try
Invent your family’s pavilion: in a box, put three things that show who you are. Present it like a guide.

A little more to discover
Expo 67 was open to the public from April 28 to October 29, 1967. It brought together 62 countries and received more than 50 million visits, not that many different people. Île Sainte-Hélène was enlarged and Île Notre-Dame created for the site.
The drawing invents simple pavilions and evokes the minirail. Imagine what your family would display in a pavilion; no official building is reproduced.
