Description

De World's Columbian Exposition — ook bekend als The Chicago World's Fair — was een wereldtentoonstelling, die in 1893 werd gehouden in Chicago ter viering van het feit dat 400 jaar eerder Christoffel Columbus in Amerika arriveerde. Het Bureau International des Expositions heeft de tentoonstelling achteraf erkend als de 11e universele wereldtentoonstelling, waarmee de tentoonstelling de tweede officiële wereldtentoonstelling in de Verenigde Staten is.
Chicago werd verkozen boven New York, Washington D.C. en St. Louis als locatie voor de tentoonstelling. De tentoonstelling had een grote invloed op Chicago's architectuur, kunst en status. De tentoonstelling besloeg een gebied van 2,4 vierkante kilometer, verdeeld over Jackson Park en de Midway Plaisance. Het terrein werd voornamelijk ontworpen door Daniel Burnham en Frederick Law Olmsted.
