The pavilion contained a sixty-foot mural that showed the story of chemistry, using Lucite and Plastacele plastics. Among the other exhibits was a five-stage presentation with the Tatterman Marionettes, showing how Dupont's products affected everyday life. There was a pest control station, a demonstration of the spinning of Rayon yarn, and a variety of other never-before-seen chemical processes.
