abOut tHe WORld eXpOThe Universal ExpositionEver since the first edition in 1851 in The Crystal Palace of London, the Universal Exposition has been the perfect stage to show off the most ambitious successes that man has achieved over time. It is an occasion to share technologies, innovation and discoveries. It is also a moment to bring to life architectural projects or artistic movements, and a place where landscapes became cultural symbols of that time, like the Eif-fel tower which was built in Paris when the city hosted the Exposition in 1889.
