Historical Background In 1958, the Czechoslovak pavilion at the World Expo in Brussels was an international triumph. Socialist Czechoslovakia was showing great progress when countries from both sides of the Iron Curtain came together in Brussels in 1958. The Western countries were optimistic about achieving a world of peace in the nuclear era. Indeed, the motto of the Expo was, 'We live in 1958, the year of technological miracles, when all is possible.' The Brussels EXPO was one of the most famous, if not the most famous world expo and by the end of Expo 58, the Czechoslovak pavilion had won the Golden Star, the Expo’s highest honor, as well as individual awards totaling 56 grand prizes, 47 commendations and 35 gold, 18 silver and 14 bronze medals — quite an achievement for a small country.
