The motto of the exhibit - Welcome the Canadian neighbor!

The design of the pavilion situated near the Pavilion of the United States on ile Sainte-Hélène, is at once striking and architecturally simple. The main building is approached by a carrousel which revolves slowly past a series of exhibits designed to provide an introduction to New York State.

From the carrousel visitors past to the main building, keynoted by six circular towers joined at second floor level by a common roof.

Six principal exhibit areas tell the story of the state of New York.

There are sections devoted to vacationlands and the great variety of recreational activities, industrial development with emphasis of the success of Canadian firms established in New York State, and to international commerce with stress on the immense variety of products, consumer and industrial, which New York State manufactures.
