Better city, better life

Every world's fair traces its roots to the Great Exhibition of the Works of Industry of All Nations.

Held in London in 1851, the Great Exhibition introduced new inventions like an early form of the fax machine and the voting machine. Other inventions first revealed at world's fairs include the ice cream cone and the X-ray machine.
