Recent Universal Expositions are Brussels Expo '58[?], Montreal Expo '67, Osaka Expo '70[?], and SevilleExpo '92[?].
With the 1980s and 1990s overflowing with expos back to back, some see the BIE's moves to only sanction expos every 5 years, starting with the 21st century, as a means to cut down potential expenditure by participating nations.
One example of this is China, which invariably has chosen to add a Chinese archway in the front of their pre-fabricated pavilions to symbolize their nation (Expo '88[?], Expo '92, Expo'93[?]).
EXPO '92, "The Age of Discovery," opened in Seville in late April and will run through mid-October.
EXPO '92 has its share of novel media theaters and attractions with a wide range of technical and aesthetic quality.
The largest dome theater at EXPO '92 was a 315 seat Omnimax theater in the Discoveries Pavillion, projecting on an 80 foot diameter dome with a 15 kw projector.
