#Expo2025 opens in Osaka 🇯🇵I hope the spirit of Universal world expositions survives this spring and some North Americans can afford to attend. In 1964, the #NewYorkWorldsFair 🇺🇲motto was " Peace Through Understanding". #Expo67 in Montreal 🇨🇦 was themed "Man and his World". All sounds quaint now.

Photograph of the Tyrannosaurus Rex sculpture at the outdoor Sinclair Pavilion at the 1964/65 New York World’s Fair. Below the Dinosaur people wonder around and observe it, and other sculptures of prehistoric creatures.
