Definición

  • World exhibitions were popular venues for promoting and shaping consumer culture since at least the middle of the nineteenth century. The Great Exhibition in London's Hyde Park in 1851 is generally recognized as the first world exhibition, although it drew on earlier and less ambitious French examples, if not the longer-term history of the traditional bazaar and potlatch.
