Structures this atlas records as built to house a World's Fair, international exposition or comparable large temporary exhibition: the Crystal Palace, built for London's Great Exhibition of 1851; the Barcelona Pavilion, built as the German Pavilion for the 1929 International Exposition in Barcelona; the Millennium Dome, built to house London's millennium exhibition; and the Grand Ring, built for Expo 2025 in Osaka. Belongs here: any structure this atlas records as purpose-built for a World's Fair, international exposition or comparable large temporary exhibition, whether or not the structure itself survives today. Does not belong here: a museum, gallery or arts center that happens to host exhibitions as part of its ordinary ongoing programming rather than having been purpose-built for one named international exposition; those are gathered under Museums and Galleries or Arts and Community Centers instead.
