The Baltic Games were held at the same time; the swimming competitions, lasting for twelve days, attracted many internationally known athletes. For the occasion, many of Malmö's parks were renovated and a large new park, Pildammsparken, was created. The Swedish architect Ferdinand Boberg designed several of the exhibition buildings, most of which were removed soon after the event closed.〔 The Åhléns Pavilion, relocated to the town of Insjön in Dalarna, was one of the few structures to survive.〔(Baltiska utställningen i Malmö 1914 ) ''fotevikensmuseum.se.org''.

After the war, Russia no longer existed, and some of the Russian art displayed in Malmö remained and eventually became part of the city's own collections.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Baltic Exhibition」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
