Title	United Arab Republic exhibit
Identifier	spl_wl_exp_01019
Description	United Arab Republic Pavilion, Century 21 Exposition (Seattle World’s Fair). “The United Arab Republic Pavilion, on International Plaza, presents a composite picture of modern Egypt, one of the oldest nations in history. With photographs, motion pictures, displays and samples, the changes taking place in the land of the pharohs [sic] are explained. Since it achieved independence in the post-World War II era, the country’s industrial and social patterns have altered radically. There is a touch of the traditional in the exhibit, however. The famed pyramids, temples and statues of antiquity are represented in a photographic gallery of tourist attractions.” (Official Guide Book, Seattle World's Fair 1962. Seattle: Acme Publications. p. 72.)
