In 1925, 16 million visitors witnessed PARIS’S EXPO – The International Exhibition of Modern Decorative and Industrial Arts. What would we have seen in this landmark exhibition, if we had been one of those visitors? What drew the crowds? And how did this seminal exhibition play a fundamental role in giving rise to a new international and truly global style that we have come to know as ART DECO? Pamela will give us an insight into this significant exhibition.
