Every World Expo leaves its mark. Some left landmarks that still define their host cities, others brought new ideas about the future, and all of them gave nations a stage to share their story with millions of visitors.

​

This timeline follows that journey from Expo 1851 London to the present day, and the story continues with Expo 2027 Belgrade and Expo 2030 Riyadh. Explore each edition to discover its theme, its standout pavilions, and the legacy it left behind for its host city and the world.
