world, is over one kilometer in circumference and covers over 80,000 square

100,000 square meters of fabric.The translucent roof is 50 meters high at the
center and strong enough to support a jumbo jet.The Dome could contain two
Wembley Stadiums or the Eiffel Tower on its side. You could even fit the Great
Pyramid of Giza
inside it.

In 1961, Henry

passed in front of the painting before the error was noted.
