| Admin/Biog History | The Empire Exhibition of 1938, held at Bellahouston Park in Glasgow, was intended to demonstrate the unity of the British Empire and promote the economy of Scotland after the depression of the early 1930s. The exhibition, which was opened by King George VI and Elizabeth Bowes Lyon (the Queen Mother), was a showcase for sport, music and architecture and attracted visitors from all over the world. The exhibition was organised by Scottish architect, Thomas S. Tait, who headed a team of nine architects. |
