Today's Google doodle celebrating the anniversary of the first World's Fair

The 160^th anniversary of the World’s Fair exposition has today been celebrated with a Google doodle.
The first expo opened on 1 May 1851, with The Great Exhibition organised in Hyde Park’s Crystal Palace after an idea by Queen Victoria’s husband Prince Albert.
And it is this Expo, officially titled the Great Exhibition of the Works of Industry of All Nations, which is reflected in the doodle with the arched glass roof of the palace central to the image.

With industrialisation ongoing, the exhibition was organised to celebrate modern technology and design.
Inventor and civil servant Sir Henry Cole, Francis Henry, artist and museum curator George Wallis, politician Charles Dilke and other members of the Royal Society for the Encouragement of Arts, Manufactures and Commerce helped Prince Albert turn his idea into reality.
