May 8. 1964 5 1 fit riAiNLi ur buu —as tue visitor enters m tne royer or me Long oaiiery." At rignt the portals of the Vatican Pavilion this replica is Miss Suzanna Hebron of Floral Park, L.I., of a 12th Century Spanish fresco greets him one of a score of hostesses at the pavilion. Vatican Pavilion and Pieta ’ Focal Points of World’s Fair Passing beneath the Flags of the United States, the Vatican and the World’s Fair, visitors approach the pavilion through a long entrance court, which is paved in the colors of the Vatican—white and gold. The court is flanked by a high wall which, in turn, is pierced by three fountains that splash into_ in­terconnected pools. As the visitor enters the building he is in what is described as The Long Gallery, a tapered area which serves to chan­nel the crowds into four lanes as they approach the Pieta. Preparing the visitor for the great religious and artistic experi­ence is a graphic portrayal of the life of Christ—from the Prophe­cies through the Crucifixion — which utilizes audio and visual techniques as well as modern and traditional art. There are 14 separate displays in The Long Gallery beginning with The Hand of God, a replica of a 12th Century Spanish fresco, directly in front of the visitor as he enters the pavilion. Numbered among the 14 dis­plays are The Annunciation, a full color illumination of the re­nowned painting by Fra Angelico; The Incarnation, 11 illuminations of famous paintings of this subject selected and arranged by Norman La Liberte against the background of an old German wood-cut. To the visitor’s left is The Nativity, a display of creches from various parts of the world. Then there is a stained glass triptych by Duval. Resembling the entrance to a medieval church, it is used as a divider in the tapering gallery. As the visitor nears the end of the gallery and approaches the en­trance to the Pieta area on his right he sees The Crucifixion, an illumination of the triptych by Perugino. Four ramps—three moving and one stationary—then guide the vis­itor out of the entrance gallery and past the Pieta. The ramps operate at varying speeds, depend­ing on the crowd, and are tiered so that everyone has an unobstruc­ted view of the Michelangelo mas­terpiece. The stationary walk was provided for the unhurried art lover. The ramps then pass into the pavilion’s major exhibit area—27,- 000 square feet—which is faced by a high glass wall opening the interior to a clear view from the fair grounds. High above the sweep of the glass wall—evidence of the Church Sanctifying—hang 44 two­­sided banners portraying the Do­minical and Temporal Cycles of the liturgical year. Ten projection screens show re­petitively one-minute full color slide films reflecting various as­pects of Christ’s love; a children’s exhibit, emphasizing Christ’s love for children; and the Wall of In­formation, which presents historic­al facts and statistics relating to the work of the Church. Two stairways lead to the ro­tunda of the pavilion, which con­tains the beautiful Chapel of the Good Shepherd, on the Gospel side of which rests the Third Century statue of Christ the Good Shep­herd, the work of art insured for $2,000,000 which accompanied the Pieta from Rome. In the main exhibit area beneath the rotunda is found the replica of the tomb of St. Peter, construc­ted in Rome under the supervision of Vatican authorities. Here, too, are found along the walls four pan­els depicting 30 Doctors of the Church and quotations from then­­teachings. There is a full color photomural of the Second Vatican Council in session, flanked by mosaic-like wall medallions of Pope Paul VI and Pope John XXIII, with accom­panying quotations from each. The exhibit area also features a Gallery of Michelangelo contain­ing a treatment of the works of the great Renaissance artist, an ex­hibition of one-quarter life-size color transparencies of the Sistine Chapel, depicting the Biblical story of Genésis, from the Crea=_ tion to the Flood; a collection of Vatican coins and stamps, and seven illuminated slide carousels depicting-pertinent subjects relat­ing to the* Church and the Catholic religion.
