41b New York Day 2 United Nations Chambers

Our guide did an excellent job taking us through each of the three main
chambers. Thanks to our Nordic and Scandinavian members each have been
tastefully created in a theme that displays what each one represents.
First the Security Council, furnished by Norway and easily identified by its
horse shoe shape table and the beautiful backdrop mural symbolizing the
promise of future peace.
Second the Economic and Social Council furnished by Denmark and lined with
its trademark teak panelling. A beautiful 9ft statue of a woman with arms
upraised and bird taking flight adorn the room.
Third is the Economic and Social Chamber designed and donated by Sweden.
But the most iconic and recognisable room that we entered was that of the
General Assembly. A sloping structure with concave sides topped with a
beautiful ornate dome.
