Paris Exposition Universelle 1900: A Cultural Melting Pot of the World at the Dahomey Exhibit This evocative photograph captures the vibrant and diverse atmosphere of the Paris Exposition Universelle 1900, also known as the Exposition Universelle, or World's Fair. Held from April 15 to December 12, 1900, this international event attracted an astounding 50 million visitors and showcased 76,000 exhibitors from across the globe. In this image, we see the Dahomey Exhibit, representing the West African kingdom of Dahomey (now Benin), which was a French protectorate at the time. The exhibit, housed in a traditional straw hut pavilion, showcases the rich cultural heritage of the Dahomey people. The exhibit was a significant representation of the international exchange of ideas and knowledge that took place during the Exposition Universelle. The first line of the Paris Metro was opened to coincide with the exhibition, revolutionizing transportation in the city and making it more accessible to visitors. The second Olympic Games, which took place during the Exposition Universelle, also made history as the first time female competitors participated. This photograph is a testament to the spirit of exploration, innovation, and cultural exchange that defined the Paris Exposition Universelle 1900, making it one of the most memorable and influential world's fairs in history.
