Urso Chappell’s ExpoMuseum Blog: Expo x Expos

Expo x Expos

I received my copy of the BIE's Progression Magazine today and was
pleased to discover that an exhibition, Expo x Expos, will be
traveling around the world and visiting Madrid, Lisbon, Zaragoza (host of Expo 2008,
Brussels, Paris, New York, Chicago, San Francisco, Nagoya, Osaka, and
London. It is currently showing at the Triennale in Milan (which will host Expo 2015. Apparently,
in 2010, the exhibit will move from London, host of the first world's
fair
to Shanghai, the host of Expo 2010.

I'm hoping to find out more information about this exhibition,
particularly its United States dates.

It would be wonderful if this exhibition could create renewed
awareness of the Bureau International des Expositions in the USA so
that we can re-join the organization.

At the very least, I can imagine it helping springboard San
Francisco's entry into the AVE, the Association of Cities and Regions
Hosting an International Exposition.
