world expo

International achievement fair

A world expo, also called a world's fair, is a large international exhibition where countries showcase cultural, technological, and industrial achievements.

Host cities build elaborate pavilions and venues, often leaving architectural landmarks behind: The Eiffel Tower was built for the 1889 Paris world expo.

These events run for months and draw millions of visitors.
