The first World Exhibition was in Hyde Park, London in 1851. Six million
visitors took a trip to see new wonders of science and technology and they
werent disappointed. By 1889, the World Exposition in Paris was crowded with
about 32 million visitors and there were many exciting things for them to see
and do.
French architect Ferdinand Dutert and engineer Victor Contamin designed and
built a Gallery of Machines for the Exposition. It had 16,000 machines with
all the modern technology. There was a reproduction of a crowded, noisy street
from Cairo, Egypt and there were musicians and dancers from Java, Vietnam,
Africa, the Middle East, the USA and more. The food wasnt like the fast food
of today. There werent any hot dogs, chips or fizzy drinks. People ate tasty,
authentic meals from around the world.
But, of course, the favourite attraction was the 300-metre-tall Eiffel Tower. It
stood at the entrance to the Exposition and people walked under it to go in.
Gustave Eiffel designed the tower for the Exposition and it was taller than any
other structure in the world for the next 40 years. At night, the Eiffel Tower had
red, white and blue lights. Electric lights were new in 1889 and people were
amazed to see them.
