The Exposition Universelle of 1889 was a World's Fair held in Paris, France from May 6, to October 31, 1889.

The Exposition covered a total area of 0.96 km², including the Champs de Mars, the Trocadéro, the quai d'Orsay, a part of the Seine and the Invalides esplanade.

 EMPIRE OF AUTUMN
Sir: After the closure of the London Exposition, and before the distribution of awards, on the 25 of January, the principal exhibitors manifested their desire for a universal exposition to be opened in Paris in the year 1867.
Every aspect of the Parisian exposition, from the overall plan for exhibits to the final awarding of medals, would proceed from a single conviction: the bounty of nature could be transformed into universal harmony for the human race.
If future expositions could persuade the nations of the world to dedicate themselves to the physical and moral improvement of the human race, one of the major ideals of the Emperor and his commissioners would be fulfilled.

 Exposition Universelle   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
1900 begins with a selection of works from the Exposition Décennale, an international exhibition of art created between 1889-1900, that was held as part of the 1900 Paris Exposition Universelle (World's Fair).
This endeavor was mirrored in other portions of the Exposition Universelle, where countries highlighted their accomplishments in fields such as industry and technology, each participant vying for supremacy in an era defined by burgeoning nationalism and colonial expansionism.
After this introduction, which provides a look at a selection of the art considered significant at the turn of the century, 1900 is organized thematically to demonstrate the distinctive treatments that artists of differing schools and nationalities brought to similar subject matter.

 expo-iah
Music was so pervasive at the 1889 Exposition Universelle that newspaper journalists described the sonic side of the affair as a "musical orgy." Sounds reached from bandstand marches to symphony concerts, from Javanese gamelan music to telephonically transmitted operas.
I approach music at the Exposition Universelle with respect to its artistic and social contexts, its musical and literary contents (where appropriate), its presentation within the framework of the Exposition Universelle, its reception in France and abroad, and its impact on musical politics and discourses.
Traiponi's rendered the scene with a strong focus on the exotic architectural detail and the picturesque Arabs in the front, while the European visitors of the Exposition Universelle disappear in the background and are barely visible.
