world expos

Global showcase events

World expos are large international exhibitions where countries showcase cultural, technological, and economic achievements.

Also called world's fairs or international expositions, they run for months and draw millions of visitors.

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

Modern expos typically center on themes like sustainability or innovation.
