China Centennial Main Building
Dublin Core
Title
China Centennial Main Building
Description
Despite China's late arrival to the Centennial and limited space for their exhibit, China's exhibit was made extremely unique by their use of partitions along the perimeter and the addition of a roof to the exhibit. This enclosure blocked distractions from other exhibits and created an illusion of an actual trip into China.
