Step back in time and witness the grandeur of exhibitions throughout history. From the Motoring Show at Olympia in 1907 to the yearly airshow held at Olympia, London in 1910, these events were a spectacle for all. In 1906, men and women eagerly explored stands at the Olympia Motor show, marveling at the latest innovations. The Crystal Palace during the International Exhibition of 1862 showcased breathtaking artistry like Minton's majestic Majolica fountain. As we delve further into history, we find ourselves transported to the Great Exhibition of 1851 in Hyde Park's Crystal Palace. Its iron framework stood tall as visitors wandered through its main avenue, captivated by oriental products and enchanted by Wardian cases filled with lush plants. Even beyond London's borders, exhibitions left their mark - such as Glucq's monumental door from America's exhibition in Paris' L'Album de l'Exposition 1889 lithograph. These exhibitions not only displayed technological advancements but also celebrated cultural treasures like Buddha subduing Mara from Nakhonsrithammarat school or Avalokitesvara Bhodisattva from Java's Pala style dating back to the 9th century AD. Lakshmi, an Indian masterpiece from Ayutthaya period between the16th-17th century AD showcases divine beauty that transcends time itself.
