The British presentation can be summed up in three words, yesterday, today and tomorrow. It tells a compelling story, about a peaple who became a great nation and helped shape the history of the world. The pavilion housing it, set amid lagoons and moats to remind visitors of Britain's Island heritage, is dominated by a 200-foot tower. It is on Ile Notre-Dame adjacent to the Expo-Express station.



To step through the gate in its base is to step back 3,000 years.

A journey through time: This is Britain before even the romans came - primitive, wild. But slowly as the centuries spin past, science and industry evolve, until the British set out to explore the world.

A roll-call: Here are the great men of the past - statesmen, inventors, artists and those of today, the new men ringing the changes for tomorrow.



Britain today: A refreshing story of everyday life in Britain.

Geared to advance: From Britain's research laboratories and design offices come a steady stream of new ideas.

Britain in the world: The fifth section is dominated by giant sculptured figures expressing the universal hope for a world at peace. Among them are displays illustrating the spirit of freedom and good neighborliness - qualities essential to realizing such an ideal.

The 200-foot tower is a place for music lovers. In a dim, cathedral-like atmosphere, a vast repertory of recorded music is presented. The program is posted outside the pavilion. The visitor finds not only musical pleasure but also serenity and relaxation.
