American-Israel Pavilion

This spiral-shaped building, with boulders hewn from King Solomon's Mine set at its entrance, curls around itself like a chambered nautilus in red mahogany. The winding walkway conducts the visitor through 4,000 years of Jewish history. Successive rooms recreate the sights and sounds of various epochs by means of music, artifacts and dioramas. Open shops, including a snack bar, line the low end of the spiral. The pavilion is sponsored by the American-Israel World's Fair Corporation.
