GREAT BRITAIN
 The
white, windowless Great Britain pavilion is dominated by an unusual
tower displaying a three-dimensional Union Jack. It is located near
the France and Federal Republic of Germany pavilions, and is separated
by the Expo-Express track. The pavilion's exhibits display the development
of the country, from pre-Roman times to today. Enormous banners
have been hung in tribute to a number of important male igures who
have left their mark on Great Britain's history in such fields as
the arts, science and politics.

As the music of the Beatles is played, visitors can learn
about the daily life of British people and the cultural excitement
the country is experiencing, while getting a taste of some
quintessentially British humour. Visitors can also take a
break and enjoy a cup of that most British of beverages, tea!
The country's main industries and technological achievements
are also featured in displays that include the engine of the
famous Concorde. Great Britain's international influence,
especially in terms of political institutions, is highlighted.
A message of peace emanates from a series of giant metal sculptures
that represent human beings communicating with each other.
