The Exposition Universelle, Paris 1900 was part of a remarkable tradition
of International Expositions that were held in Europe and America from
the middle of the Nineteenth Century to the time of the First World
War. The Exposition Universelle, Paris 1900 is most remembered for its
influence on the Art Deco movement and architectural gems like Eliel
Saarinen's Finnish pavilion. In the illustrations and photographs included
in this section you can get a sense of the architecture for the fair
and what it might have been like to stroll through its exhibits and
pavillions.
The
main book in English that describes the Paris 1900 Exposition is Richard
D. Marshall's Paris 1900: The Great World's Fair (Toronto: University
of Toronto Press, 1967). Click
