Little nuggets of treasure from the art world's Fort Knox.

 

As much as I love the internet, it seems to have rendered World’s Fairs as a thing of the past, and that is a crying shame. Here, a model is showing off the latest fashions on a catwalk consisting of a ramp descending into a pool of water. Interior view of the United States Pavilion at the Brussels World’s Fair, with fashion show in progress, 1958 / unidentified photographer. James S. Plaut papers, Archives of American Art, Smithsonian Institution.
