World Expositions in the 19th century was a showcase for innovations across industry and culture. We’ll explore ten of the most influential Expositions from 1851 to 1904 held in England, France, and the United States. From demonstrations of the telephone, motion pictures, prototypes of the Colt revolver, an early fax machine to Annie Oakley, Winslow Homer and the first Olympics in the United States, we’ll see how World Expositions changed our understanding of the world.
