1t" has not been the intention 10
make the exposition Of such size ana
scope that it would rival any already
held in Scandinavia. Rather the
thought has been to provide a
thoroughly representative exhibition,
where good things will not be lost
among the mediocre, and where only
the very best of all classes Of eX-
hibits will be found.
Nevertheless the main exhibition
covers an area of more than half a
million square yards. The buildings,
especially in the agricultural sections,
have been constructed within a set
ting of lawns and flower beds. and the
architects have had in mind to repro
duce as far as possible the style and
setting prevalent on the mountain
and valley peasant farms. The CEN
trail position, however, will be oc-
cupied by the great hall of industry,
designed in a more modern style, and
the hall Of machinery. These two
buildings are the largest on the
grounds. The Hall or Industry covers
an area of more than $4,000 square
yards. 1t will contain exhibits Of
various Norwegian products that have
won favor in the markets Of the
world. Clustered about the entrance
to the exposition will be found the
Hall of Art, the State and Municipal
Hall, and the Home Industries sec
ton. The various exhibits of the
state and municipalities will be group
ed about a relief map Of the entirt
kingdom, a map which will show vi
wildly the unique natural features of
the country. In addition, there will
be q numerous and varied collection
Of models of famous buildings, rail
ways, power stations and roads.
The Hall of Arts will show the
wonderful progress made during the
past 100 years, especially in the art
of painting. the development of which
is unique in that within the space OF
time mentioned it has undergone a
transformation which the art Of other
countries has taken double the
length Of time to effect.
The cities Of Christiania and Bergen
will nave their own buildings. The
Norwegian Press will exhibit in an
other pavilion. and here the official
newspapers of the exposition will be
printed. The saltpeter industry at
Rjukan will have two pavilions j n
front of the Hall of Industry.
In connection with the horticultural
section, the great Hall Of Music has
been erected, and here a number Of
concerts and choral festivals will be
held during the exhibition. together
with the summer Flower Show, and
the autumn Fruit Exhibit. The i'm
menSe stadium now being erected il
Christiania will also be ready soon
and it will be the scene of a mum.
