Palais Mondial in the Palais du Cinquantenaire

Otlet and La Fontaine were granted space in the left wing of the Palais du Cinquantenaire in Brussels to house the Palais Mondial. They conceived it to be a monument to all the material and intellectual glories of the universe, a sacred place of inspiration of grand ideas and noble activities, a treasury of all works of spirit, brought there as a contribution to science and to universal organization.
