L'Expo 67 de Montréal est une exposition universelle (de catégorie A) tenue en 1967 sur le thème de « Terre des Hommes » (anglais : Man and his World).
Ici nous retrouvons un des plus grands pavillons de cette exposition, le PAVILLON DE LA FRANCE.

Une fois l’expo Universelle Terre des Hommes terminé on aménage l'ancien pavillon de la France en centre d'expositions temporaires qui porte le nom de Palais des Civilisations. Le public peut voir de grandes expositions comme Ramses II et son temps en 1985 suivi de Chine, trésors et splendeurs ainsi que L'or des cavaliers thraces. Vers 1990 on y présente une exposition d'envergure sur le monde du cinéma intitulée Cité-Cinés où les visiteurs peuvent littéralement traverser différents décors de films en passant même par les toits de Paris.

Par la suite en 1993 le pavillon devient officiellement le premier casino au Québec, il est toujours utiliser come casino (2011-2012)
