The big superpowers were at Expo 88 - virtually the last World Exposition of the cold war - and the last representation by the USSR at a World's Fair.
Here are some photos from "Expo 88 Memories" (Sydney G Hughes Publisher) of the facades of the USSR, Japan, USA and People's Republic of China Pavilions.
 |
| The Japan Pavilion featured a traditional Japanese Garden for relaxation and reflection at it's entrance/exit |
 |
| The People's Republic of China Pavilion featured this impressive Chinese Gate which could be seen from the Melbourne Street entrance. |
 |
| The USA Pavilion featured a basketball court at it's front forecourt, where leading USA basketball and hackeysack players could be seen in action. |
The USSR Pavilion, here featured with World Expo '88 Jon Barlow Hudson (USA) artwork "Paradigm" in the background, featured this winter time mural on it's facade, the logo for it's popular Russian restaurant inside, "Troika".
