CloseThis scaled-down replica of the 1960 New York World's Fair Globe was initially designed to be constructed out of stainless steel, but financial concerns shuttered that idea. Other considerations such as aluminum and paint quickly gave way to hot-dip galvanizing because of it's ability to provide corrosion protection inside and out for these modular sections. The potentially wet Oklahoma weather made the galvanized coating an important element in protecting the "globe."
