Czechoslovakia

"At the last World Exhibition, held at Brussels in 1958, the Czechoslovak Pavilion won top acclaim.

In Expo 67, too, the Czechoslovak national pavilion, close to the Ile Notre-Dame station of the Expo-Express, is imaginative, well-balanced.

Czechoslovak glass and ceramics are widely used in the buildings. Steel was prefabricated and shipped to Canada."
