The Vatican Pavilion at the New York World's Fair is constructed on an oval-shaped plot of land measuring 50,000 square feet and costs approximately $2,000,000. Surmounted by a lantern and a cross, it will rise to a total height of 100 feet and measure 208 feet in length and 135 feet in width. A chapel with a capacity of 350 persons will be located on the mezzanine of the Pavilion, and will exhibit the statue of "The Good Shepherd". The exhibit features the "Pieta" by Michelangelo, also a gallery of Michelangelo's works as an artist. There is also an exhibit of one-quarter life size color transparencies of the Sistine Chapel, and a collection of Vatican coins. |
