World's Fair

The Gothenburg Exposition, greatest world fair ever held in Scandinavia, was opened by King Gustavus V before a vast assembly of Swedish people interspersed with foreigners. It commemorates the tercentenary of the founding of Gothenburg by King Gustavus Adolphus (1594-1632).

The main part of the exposition covers an area of 75 acres, while auxiliary events, such as the agricultural show, athletic meeting, horticultural show and the international aero show, will be held on fields adjacent to the main ground.

The United States was invited to exhibit, and will be represented in the historical, industrial, ecclesiastical, social, educational and art departments.
