Comment: Per Wikipedia, Expo 67 is a category one World's Fair held in Montreal, Quebec, Canada from April 27 through October 29, 1967. After the Expo67 ended, most of the buildings were dismantled, but some of the buildings continued to be operated as "Man and His World / Terre des Hommes" (1968 - 1984). After 1984, even that shut down, with just a few permanent structures remaining. Those structures include the American pavilion's metal-lattice skeleton from its Buckminster Fuller dome, now enclosing an environmental sciences museum called the Montreal Biosphere, and Habitat 67 (designed by Moshe Safdie), now a condominium residence. The France and Quebec pavilions, now interconnected, form the Montreal Casino. (The mention of Habitat 67 reminds me of its use as the setting for the YouTube video of the song "In My Secret Life" by Leonard Cohen. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NW7oNpzBSGc )
