Google's Doodle on 01 May 2011

Google's doodle on 01 May 2011 celebrates the 160th anniversary of the first world's fair, the 1851 Great Exhibition of the Works of Industry of All Nations, also known as the Crystal Palace:
http://www.ExpoMuseum.com/1851/

As I type this, it's 30 April 2011 in most of the world, but you can already see the doodle on Australia's site. It's interactive, so make sure you put your cursor over the graphic:
http://www.google.com.au/

2011 also marks the 25th anniversary of Vancouver's Expo 86. Next Friday, Science World hosts a celebration of Expo 86:
