World’s Fairs were always grand six-month long exhibitions that enthralled fairgoers across the globe. Attendees returned home with all stories filled with excitement and wonderment. However, not all of the stories ended well. While each fair had many amazing stories, they each had an underlying darker story to tell. This lecture will focus on the stories of calamities, malice, accidents and other tragedies of the world’s fairs. Disclaimer: Mature and Sensitive Content will be included. Discretion is advised.
