The elevator, the Ferris Wheel, the baby incubator, the mobile phone, and even the ice cream cone: each of these useful, essential or simply delightful inventions was first showcased at a World Expo in the past 170 years. Since the World Expo debuted in London in 1851, the event has acted as a vital showcase of human progress, as well as a way to examine the key issues of the day. The World Expo Museum at Expo 2020 highlights the event’s incredible history and impact through exciting, interactive installations, while also tracing the UAE’s bold path to hosting the first World Expo in the Middle East and Africa.
