Morocco's Versailles was at Montreal

According to Expolounge there was a large cupola in the center of Morocco’s Pavillon at Expo67. “It featured 2 luminous dioramas, complete with life-sized mannequins in traditional costume. One display showed the southern village of Tinerhir while the other featured the imperial city of Meknès, known as The Versailles of Morocco,” writes blogger and Montreal style guru Jason Stockl. “In another nearby exhibit, mannequins costumed as royal guards or as teachers represented the city of Fez, whose university was at least 400 years older than the Sorbonne.” READ ON.
