The 1984 Miss General Idea Pavillion reopens at
the Art Gallery of York University tomorrow night!
6 – 9 PM
Thirty-two years after a disastrous fire destroyed The 1984 Miss General Idea Pavillion in 1977, the Art Gallery of York University has set itself the heroic task of reconstructing the Pavillion along the lines of its original plans. The AGYU has combined resources with archaeologists, archivists, and the museums and collections that house its remnants to bring together material for public view as the first stage of restoring the Pavillion to the shell of its past glory.
(the exhibition runs until December 6th, but the opening happens only once)
