Held in Spokane, Expo ’74’s theme was about the environment. From some reports it appears the environmental message was a little too corporatized or even “Disney-fied”. What catches my eye about Expo ’74 is the design:
And a great ticket stub from Expo sand World Fairs:
Here’s a video that has some great footage of it – it looks like a news broadcast, or maybe a tourism piece. Either way, it looks pretty dated, and it’s talking about an event that was even more dated, which is an interesting rabbit hole. Hang in there for a minute or so to see the original ad for Expo ’74 – it’s worth it.
Happy Thanksgiving!
