Last week’s Friday Mystery Place was pretty straightforward, as there was a clue in the image, which Petra is Gone (go check her excellent blog!) was astute enough to pick up on: the sign in the background tells you this is the Mendelianum, the museum on the location to the St. Thomas Abbey, where Gregor Mendel did his work on plant and bee hybridization. Mendel is recognized as the father of genetics through his research and publications.
Today’s offering is an interesting one, as I picked it from one of the wonderful slides that are in my possession.
This is a rather futuristic scene from the past. Where is this and what is it?
Hope you have fun with this one and have a great day!
Could this be the Flushing Meadows-Corona Park in New York?
Indeed it could. It was seen in a Sci-fi movie too
Cool! I may have gotten this one, or at least gotten close. Wasn’t it a scene in one of the World’s Fairs, Frank?
It was built for the 1964 World’s Fair in New York. You may have seen it in the movie MIB…
Yep, sure did. I thought so, just wasn’t sure of the year. Thanks, Frank!
Thank you for the kind words!
