Warner, Assistant Secretary for Public Service. It was a joint venture between the Smithsonian Institution, the Art Gallery of Ontario, UNICEF, UNESCO and EAT (Experiment in Art and Technology). The exhibition was supposed to open in 100 countries simultaneously and demonstrate education through play. It is unclear if this exhibition ever occurred.
