I saw the Shroud at the 1984 World's Fair at New Orleans.

Must've been a private showing. ;-)

Seriously, if the Shroud has been outside Turin ever in modern times, I'm not aware of it. I've lived in New Orleans all my life. The Vatican's exhibition at the 1984 fair was very nice, but when you consider even New York in 1964-65 only rated Michelangelo's Pietá, there's no way we'd ever get the Shroud, short of commissioning some Baghdad museum looters to snatch it for us.

This poster was wrong. The shroud is made open for public viewing every 50 years....we went to Milan in 2000 and had hope to travel to Turin but missed it by a month....

Sorry. You are right. The one shown at the 1984 World's Fair was a full-sized replica. Still impressive.
