Between 1855 and 1900, Paris was the site of five major expositions. These temporary agglomerations of stuff not only served to showcase scientific and technological innovations. They were stimuli to the embedding of science and technology in the fabric of modern life on a long-term basis. They not only altered the development of the city, put helped through the design and content of exhibits to restructure time and space. This paper explores some of the ways in which this dynamic played out in the Parisian context, focusing on the expositions of 1889 and 1900.
