Marco Polo is an opera by the Chinese-born composer Tan Dun set to an English libretto by Paul Griffiths.
 It premiered in Munich on 7 May 1996.
 Described variously as an "opera within an opera" and a "fantasia on an epic journey", the multi-layered storyline is loosely based on the journey of Marco Polo from Venice to China.
 In the opera, Marco Polo becomes two characters: Marco, who represents the real person and is sung by a mezzo-soprano, and Polo who represents his memory and is sung by a tenor.
 The work is scored for vocal soloists, a chorus of 20 and a large orchestra of both modern and medieval European instruments as well as instruments from the cultures that Marco Polo passed through on his journey, including sitar, pipa, sheng, tabla and Tibetan horns and bells.
 "Marco Polo" won the 1998 Grawemeyer Award for Music Composition.
Marco Polo Park (AKA Passport to Fun World) was a theme park located just west of Interstate 95 between Jacksonville and Daytona Beach near Bunnell, at Exit 278 in Flagler County, Florida on the site of the current Plantation Bay Golf and County Club community.
 The park's theme was based on Marco Polo's legendary travels through Europe and the Far East.
 The brochure provided at the park's entrance gave this description: "Like Marco Polo himself, you will be wonderstruck at the authentic Oriental splendor of your personal voyage of discovery as you journey into the exotic four worlds of the Far East, Turkey, India, China, Japan and beautiful Venice, your port of embarkation."
 The park featured rides, puppet shows, multimedia shows, and other attractions.

Marco Polo was an armored cruiser built for the Royal Italian Navy ("Regia Marina") in the 1890s, the first of her type in Italian service.
 The ship spent the bulk of her career deployed in the Far East.
 Between deployments she participated in the Italo-Turkish War of 1911–12 during which she caused a diplomatic incident with the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
 After that affair "Marco Polo" was sent to Libya where she bombarded the towns of Homs, and Zuara and the defenses of the Dardanelles.
 In between these operations, the ship provided naval gunfire support to the Royal Italian Army in Libya.
 Due to her age, "Marco Polo" did not play a significant role in World War I, serving as an accommodation ship in Venice until she began conversion into a troopship in 1917.
 After a series of renamings in 1920–21, the ship was stricken from the naval register in 1922 and subsequently sold for scrap.
Marco Polo – The Journey is album by Ensemble Renaissance, released in 1992 on the Artelier Music label in Germany.
 It is Renaissance's 11th album.
 Theme of the album is early music from the time of the travels of Marco Polo.

 4 people were killed, and 13 others (including 1 firefighter) were injured.More 200 units are damaged or destroyed giving the destruction of the building at more than $100 million.

Niccolò Polo (] ; c. 1230 – c. 1294) and Maffeo Polo (] ) (or Matteo ] ; c. 1230 – c. 1309) were Italian traveling merchants best known as the father and uncle, respectively, of the explorer Marco Polo.
 The brothers went into business before Marco's birth, established trading posts in Constantinople, Sudak in Crimea, and in a western part of the Mongol Empire in Asia.
 As a duo, they reached modern-day China before temporarily returning to Europe to deliver a message to the Pope.
 Taking Niccolò's son Marco with them, the Polos then made another journey through Asia, which became the subject of Marco's account "The Travels of Marco Polo".
In the Footsteps of Marco Polo is a 2008 PBS documentary film detailing Denis Belliveau and Francis O'Donnell's 1993 retracing of Marco Polo's journey from Venice to Anatolia, Persia, India and China.
 The movie documents the first quest "to visit and document every region Marco Polo claimed to have traveled" using only land and sea methods of transportation.
 Mike Hale of "The New York Times" writes that the documentary includes how Belliveau and O'Donnell "encountered Mongol horsemen and hostile Chinese security officers and survived a firefight between Afghan factions.
 In the spirit of Polo's journey -- and to prove a point regarding the authenticity of his account -- they disdained airplanes, traveling by foot, on horses and camels and by jeep, boat and train."
 A text by the same name as the video, "In the Footsteps of Marco Polo", written by Belliveau and O'Donnell, and published by Rowman & Littlefield, serves as a companion to the documentary film.
 "In the Footsteps of Marco Polo" has been used by Belliveau to create a unique interdisciplinary educational curriculum that he presents at schools and libraries across the United States and internationally.
