London's
Millennium Dome was
built in L999
to celebrate the new
millennium. It is
one of London's
most famous
-
and
most
criticised
-
buildings. Famous
because t is
one of the
biggest buildings ever
constructed:
it has the biggest roof
in the world
and it could contain
thirteen enormous
concert halls
Criticised for costing L7
58
million
to build and for not attracting
enough visitors to its millennium
vear exhibition.
he millennium
exhibition was open for
one
year
from
I
Janttary
to 31 December 2000.
The 20 attractions
or
'zones'
were
designed
to
celebrate the achievements of the modern
world.
The Home Planet Zorte, where
people
could
go
on a virtual tour
of the
world, was particularly
popular. Another enjoyable one was the Play Zone,
where visitors
could score a
goal,
play
a concerto
and explore
an electronic
playground.
The Body
Zone, which
focused on developments in medicine
and science,
attracted a lot of interest among the
visitors.
One thing that
all
visitors
enjoyed was the
spectacular Millennium Show. This was
a dramatic
love
story
performed
by dancers and
acrobats on
ttaDezeshundreds
of metres above the crowd.
