Special Display
In Memoriam, Expo Oz
Expo Oz, the Expo mascot, had a brief but brilliant career. Born on 30 November 1986, he publicised the event world-wide and made over 1500 appearances on the site. The playful platypus was the child of Bob Moore of Disney Enterprises of California. Though essentially Australian, he bore a striking resemblance to his American cousin, Donald Duck. Following Expo, Oz’s pelt was deposited in the Queensland Museum and he is remembered by a range of souvenirs.
Come face to face with Expo Oz again, as part of the 20th Anniversary World Expo 88 Celebrations, and chuckle at his antics in the short video “The Adventures of Expo Oz”.
