Boy looking at French exhibit, Seattle World's Fair, 1962

Order an Image
The French exhibit occupied a large portion of the ground floor of the Washington State Coliseum, now Key Arena. It showcased France's contributions to science and culture.

Here, a boy looks at a model of Jacques Cousteau's diving saucer. The saucer's portholes, looking rather like eyes in this view, allowed divers to see life on the sea floor.

Handwritten on sleeve: Exhibit inside Coliseum.
