Set Facts

The was perhaps no better example of the internationalization of Lego, or its importance in Denmark, than the 1964 New York World’s Fair. The Danish pavilion was designed primarily as a playground for children and an exhibit promenade. Naturally Lego was featured in the playground and boutique. This was one of two promotional sets LEGO offered for the World Fair, the other being 395-3 New York World Fair Promo.
