Part 6/8:
The fair marked the beginning of a golden era for cinema, as the Lumière brothers showcased massive film projections, captivating audiences and establishing a new art form. The experience of seeing themselves on a large screen created a lasting impression, setting the stage for the future of film and solidifying Paris's reputation as a cultural epicenter.
Despite the end of the exposition in November 1900, its influence remains deeply woven into the fabric of Paris. Many of the structures, though initially planned as temporary, were preserved and adapted for ongoing use. Some of the whimsical pavilions that filled the landscape may have vanished, but their spirit endures in the aesthetic splendor and urban dynamics of the city.
