General Art and Industrial Exposition of Stockholm

Picture of the General Art and Industrial Exposition of Stockholm (Sweden) of 1897. Also known as Stockholm's World's Fair.

The exhibition site was located on the island of Djurgården. The exhibition resulted in quite some permanent buildings on the island. Like the Djurgårdsbron, the main bridge to the island and the Skansens Bergbana, the funicular railway. One of the most prominent buildings of the exposition, the large (16,820 m²) exposition hall in wood (designed by Ferdinand Boberg) and featuring a 100 metres tall cupola and 4 minarets, was demolished after the exposition.
This is the tall building in the middle of this picture.
