Birth Of The Earth
The approach to the pavilion is through an 80-foot covered walkway, which has along its length a glass- and-plastic mural depicting the origins of our planet.

Beginning Of Life
On the ground level is a three-dimensional display that traces the evolution of life from one-celled organisms to early land creatures. Realistic lighting and sounds create the subaqueous atmosphere in which this journey began.

The Progress Of Man
One and a half million years of human progress are reviewed in a 21- minute tour of the 13 dioramas that cover the second floor.

• In the earliest periods. tools are invented, fire is discovered and art and religion developed.
• Early farms and cities indicate the beginnings of civilization.
• The Roman era is shown at its peak, and during its decline under barbarian attack.
• The darkness of the Middle Ages is epitomized by the perils of the Black Death, which ravaged Europe for centuries.
• The rise of modern man is shown by Copernicus' theory that the earth revolves around the sun and by Columbus' voyage of discovery.
• Pioneers tame America, and the United States faces and surmounts the trials of the Civil War.
• In the final display, man is seen on the verge of yet another triumph, the exploration of space.
