Pondering a Robert Delaunay painting at Musee d'Art Moderne, Paris
Bootsnall.com published another of my travel articles. Read the article here: Visiting World’s Fairs: 11 Museums and Monuments that Take Us Back to the Future.
On an innocent stopover in Knoxville, I visited the Sunsphere. Once I had world’s fair on the brain, it was interesting to see where they would show themselves. In Wisconsin, I discovered the restored Norwegian Pavilion from the 1893 Chicago World’s Fair. On a visit to the Columbus Museum of Art this week, I found a Robert Delaunay painting created for the Italian Pavilion at the 1937 Paris World’s Fair. I didn’t make it to Shanghai for the Expo last year, but I bet I can find a relic somewhere.
