REMAINS TO BE SEEN ~ PART TWO

It has been 85 years since the close of the Golden Gate International Exposition on September 29, 1940. After 56 years as Naval Station Treasure Island and decades of redevelopment, little is left of the marvel of art, architecture, science and entertainment that comprised Treasure Island in 1939-1940. But three architecturally unique buildings, including the home of the Treasure Island Museum, are protected on the National Register of Historic Places. And hidden away on the island are sculptures and an enormous terra cotta fountain designed to convey the fair’s theme of “Pacific Unity.” Part 1 of this program focused on art, architecture and other “remains” scattered around the Bay Area and the United States. Part 2 will concentrate primarily (but not exclusively) on the terra cotta “Fountain of the Pacific” by Antonio Sotomayor and the twenty cast-stone sculptures from the Court of Pacifica. Please join us!

Speaker: Anne Schnoebelen has been researching the “remains” of the GGIE for several decades and will share her findings. She serves on the board of directors of the Treasure Island Museum.
