Description: Montreal, Quebec - CANADA - EXPO 67 - United Nations Pavilion: The 1967 International and Universal Exposition or Expo 67, as it was commonly known, was a general exhibition, Category One World's Fair held in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, from April 27 to October 29, 1967. It is considered to be the most successful World's Fair of the 20th century with the most attendees to that date and 62 nations participating. It also set the single-day attendance record for a world's fair, with 569,500 visitors on its third day. Expo 67 was Canada's main celebration during its centennial year. The fair had been intended to be held in Moscow, to help the Soviet Union celebrate the Russian Revolution's 50th anniversary; however, for various reasons, the Soviets decided to cancel, and Canada was awarded it in late 1962. On Ile Notre-Dame, near the Expo-Express station, the United Nations flag together with the 122 flags of member nations proclaim the Pavilion on the United Nations, circular in form and built of concrete, steel and glass. Inside the pavilion is a 330-seat theatre where outstanding films, including the Academy Award winning "To Be Alive", are shown. Overlooking a courtyard is the first-class Restaurant of All Nations with a menu as exciting and diverse as its name implies. Exhibits in the circular exhibits hall feature the United Nations charter and the work of United Nations agencies throughout the world. Letters and cards can be mailed at the pavilion where special U.N. Expo stamps may be obtained. The issuance by an agency other than the Canadian Government of stamps valid for postage in Canada is unprecedented. The pavilion is under the auspices of World Federation of United Nations Associations (WFUNA). It is sponsored by 13 Canadian companies. This Photochromatic postcard is in good condition.
