Montreal, Canada, 1995
The ICAO (International Civil Aviation Organisation)
50th anniversary exhibition:
The history of civil aviation
From Icarus to the conquest of space, the story of civil aviation relived:
the magical world of things that are heavier than air staged
with spectacular resources.
Supported by the aeronautics industry, the story told by these marvellous
flying adventurers was illustrated in an exhibition taking the form of
a show that invited visitors beyond the normal limits, letting them explore
otherwise forbidden places.
This exhibition was one of Montreal's cultural milestones in 1995.
