set of exhibitions that filled this place, the master piece, the palace of fine arts. the fair covered 635 acres and the walls city a top basically we reclaimed bay land. think of domed palaces, palmed lined courts and monumental statutory. all of this arose miracle that over a decade occurred after the earthquake and fire. just in a few years these entire acres were transformed and were the remarkable displays of innovation and being called electricity. the agriculture and despite the onset of world war i, 21 foreign

9:27 am
understand how important this is. i'm a student myself and i know that this city that i have the most kind of privilege for managing as a mayor is delicate as a city and one in history, and to be able to kind of take a look 100 years ago and try to imagine yourself in this city 100 years ago with some of these artifacts that just came off the manufacturing line at the time, or to take a look at this architecture that bernard may back was so famous for during the time they were blending the arts with real lives of people and to suggest that this is among us 100 years later and that there is something that links this
