    How did they move it across the ocean? Brick by brick? Wall by wall?

    It’s funny how the pavilions were built to represent the country and it’s architectural style, however, this and the Chilean Pavillion were made in France, with a certain french style and materials, not representing both Latin countries at all. But I have to admit that it’s pretty amazing how the Chilean pavilion still exists to this day and it’s actually a museum now! It’s located in Santiago. Been meaning to go for a long time.
