The World’s Columbian Exposition, also referred to as the Chicago World’s Fair, the Great Chicago Fair and the White City, was a national exhibition built to commemorate the 400th anniversary of the arrival of Columbus to the New World. It spanned five months, opening May 1 and coming to a close October 30.Millions of visitors - many from abroad - came to Chicago, marveling at the glories displayed at the Fair. An entire faux city was constructed, mostly of impermanent materials, on the midway in Hyde Park. The White City was a national, state, and city celebration of American art, commerce, economic progress and an end-of-century American enthusiasm. The exhibit halls reflect the way many Americans thought about themselves and their country; many seem quaint or even bizarre when seen from our vantage point. The one remaining building from the Fair is the present Museum of Science and Industry. Its imposing architecture and ambitious intellectual and educational mission are in the spirit of the Exposition.
