	ExpoMuseum / History Overview
		World’s Fairs have excited and inspired millions of people around the world by expressing the hopes and desires of their times.
		Ever since the first world’s fair in London in 1851, the goals of world’s fairs have been both high-minded as well as commercial.
		Perhaps that should be the mission of world expositions now— to make us even the slightest bit less cynical about the world and to let us feel we are a part of that world—and you can rarely experience that from your television or computer.
