What was an Exposition ?

In the late 1800's, expositions were a combination of inventors' showcase, international summit meeting, promotional extravaganza, and entertainment. The city that hosted the expositions would construct impressive and extremely expensive collection of buildings to house the exposition.Because expositions were such a great expense, world expositions were only at the largest cities. Places from all over the world sent displays designed to impress visitors. Intellectuals from around the world came to the exposition to capture what humans were capable of accomplishing during this time.However, the common people simply came to admire the amazing sights.
