Exposition Obscure Interurbaine

Published before on the internet site expo.ebbs.net

Foyer

Welcome to the site of the Permanent Interurban Obscure Exhibit. We expect that your trip to the shores of Lake Nemo went well and that your stay will be most pleasant.

We are at the very start of construction, and our services are unfortunately still very basic. We hope that you will not fault us for this and will rather concentrate on our promise of grandiose things to come.

For the moment, only the Lighthouse of the World is fully operational, and we are temporarily lodging all our departments in its numerous stories. We suggest that you visit them one by one. Since the building is half a mega fathom high, the use of the lift is recommended. The device is entirely automatic, simply press the buttons.

Projects

At this early stage, the final layout of the exhibit has not been chosen yet. Projects are only beginning to be submitted, and all suggestions are welcome. If you have a proposal of your own, please do not hesitate to contact the Commissioners.

Information

Cette Exposition n'aurait jamais pu voir le jour si ce n'était de l'aide inestimable apportée par MM. François Schuiten et Benoît Peeters. Ces citoyens de l'Autre Monde, dont la réputation n'est plus à faire, ont en effet jeté les bases des grands principes en l'absence desquels notre première pierre n'aurait jamais été posée. Nous demandons à nos visiteurs de ne pas oublier leur contribution, et de l'honorer en respectant leurs droits concernant la reproduction du matériel ici exposé.
