UNITED NATIONS PAVILION -- Expo 86

"Peace Through Communication" was the theme of the United Nations Pavilion. It combined the special focus on 1986 as the International Year of Peace with the communications theme of Expo 86.

Upon entering the pavilion, guests saw planet Earth as seen from space. Without flags or boundaries, the model of the earth served as a reminder of our common humanity and suggested that people and nations can become truly united in a quest for peace.

An audio-visual production, Island in Space, narrated by Peter Ustinov, was shown in a 120 seat theatre.
