The Great Exhibition is also referred to as the Crystal Palace since it was housed within the palace itself. It was built by Joseph Paxtion and was opened on May 1st, 1851 by Queen Victoria. This exhibition hall built from iron and glass was one of the first World Fair exhibitions that held objects that pertained to industry and culture. It was said that this location on its own housed hundreds of thousands of objects which were display amongst ten miles by numerous contributors. This structure was located in Hyde Park, London, United Kingdom. However, it was closed on October 15th, 1851 and was taken down in 1852. Soon enough, it was rebuilt and construction finished in 1854. It was then in the borough of Bromley which is also known as Sydenham Hill. This site remained up until 1936 after that year it no longer survived since it was stated that this Victorian masterpiece was actually burned to the ground on November 29th. However, what was left of the original Crystal Palace still remains in London in what is now known as Kensington Gardens and still has some remnants of what once was The Great Exhibition.
