| Title | Woman photographing interior of Coliseum, Seattle World's Fair, 1962 |
| Photographer | Forde Photographers |
| Date | 1962 |
| Caption | "Your step into the huge Coliseum is a step into the next century... over the threshold of the World of Century 21. You are an eyewitness to the future. In a shimmer of golden light, you enter the World of Century 21. It is a rainbow-hued world of cubed facades... optimistic, yet realistically aware of present-day threats."
Here, a woman photographs the interior of the building. Spiral staircases lead to the upper level. Some 3, 500 interlocking aluminum cubes provided audiovisual and exhibition space. The Washington State Coliseum is now Key Arena. |
