Kodak's pavilion, which displayed five of the world's largest (30 x 36 feet) color photographs on an 80 foot tower above its roof, called attention to its unusual pavilion below. The pavilion, which had 15 exhibit sections and two theaters had a threefold purpose; to demonstrate the wealth of experience to be gained from photography, to provide scenes on its rooftop garden for on-the-spot picture-taking, and to show the influence of photography on various aspects of modern life (science, leisure, medicine, industry and education).
