Overview
“IVA - International Transport Exhibition, Munich 1965” (Internationale Verkehrsausstellung) was held in Munich, West Germany, from June 25 to October 3, 1965. Held under the patronage of Federal President Heinrich Lübke, it was a special exhibition under the 1928 Paris Convention, devoted to the theme of transport. The International Exhibitions Bureau (Bureau International des Expositions, BIE) records 31 participants and 2.5 million visits.
The site
The Expo occupied 50.2 hectares on the Munich exhibition grounds at the Theresienhöhe and part of the neighboring Theresienwiese, and its opening ceremony took place in the Bayernhalle. Messe München, founded the year before, regards the IVA as Munich's first world exhibition and its first step toward internationalization.
Pavilions and international participation
Exhibits ranged across land, air and space travel. Highlights included U.S. Air Force rockets, a model of a space station, a cable car and an elevated monorail train. Visitors included U.S. astronaut John Glenn, Soviet cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin and Walt Disney, who came because of the monorail.
Legacy
At 101 days, the IVA remains the longest single event that Messe München has ever hosted. Expo 1965 Munich placed transport at the center of public attention in the space age and helped establish Munich as an international exhibition city.
