| The
Pan-Am Centennial Exhibit "Spirit of the City: Imagining the Pan-American
Exposition" It's
a 1901 atmosphere created by 2001 technology at the Historical Society's Resource
Center. Enter through the neck of Dreamland, a 35-foot tall replica of the lady's
head that graced the facade of a midway attraction of the same name. The
exhibit, a reinstallation that includes the materials housed in the Pan-Am Building
during the Centennial, transforms this 100+ year old trolley barn into a Pan-Am
Exposition hall. The combined exhibit features "the Little Building,"
a rediscovered structure from the Pan-Am grounds, plus artifacts and hands-on
displays that explore the exposition's funny and serious sides. |
