The Imperial Austrian Exhibition world's fair was held at Earl's Court in London in 1906.[1] It opened on 20 June[2] and closed on 6 October.[3]

Exhibitions and attractions

Three aspects of Austrian society were explored in different themed areas:

  • There was a "Tyrolean Village" with lacemakers, woodcarvers, beer halls and cafes[4]
  • A model underground salt mine reached by a slide[2]
  • A Bohemia area opened by the Bohemian revivalist Count Lützow[5]

Exhibitors included the photographer Josef Jindřich Šechtl,[6] and the bronze goods manufacturer Kalmar who won a bronze prize.[7] There was also an Austrian restaurant.[8]

The exhibition was the last use of the Great Wheel, a 94.5-metre (310 ft) tall[9][10] Ferris wheel which was the world's tallest from its opening in 1895 until 1900. It was demolished in 1907.[3]
