Foire De Lyon
The (; or Lyon Fair) is a trade fair, traditionally held in March in Lyon, France. Begun as an initiative by Lyon mayor Édouard Herriot in 1916, the fair has been held in the Eurexpo convention center in Chassieu since 1985. History The creation of the Foire de Lyon began in 1916 through an initiative by then mayor Édouard Herriot. He decided to build a vast "Palace" to accommodate the commercial stalls that were crowding the quays and streets, and impeding traffic flow in the area. The Fair Palace was built from 1918 to 1938 on land located between the Rhône and Parc de la Tête d'Or. Subsequent construction did not adhere to the original plan. The buildings of the Fair Palace were ultimately destroyed to make room for the Cité Internationale, leaving only the main façade of the central pavilion, now integrated into the Musée d'art contemporain de Lyon. In 1985 the fair was moved to the Eurexpo convention center in the commune of Chassieu, east of the Metropolis of Ly ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Buildings come in a variety of sizes, shapes, and functions, and have been adapted throughout history for a wide number of factors, from building materials available, to weather conditions, land prices, ground conditions, specific uses, prestige, and aesthetic reasons. To better understand the term ''building'' compare the list of nonbuilding structures. Buildings serve several societal needs – primarily as shelter from weather, security, living space, privacy, to store belongings, and to comfortably live and work.

Ever since the first cave paintings, buildings have also become objects or canvasses of much artistic ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Exhibitions In France
An exhibition, in the most general sense, is an organized presentation and display of a selection of items. In practice, exhibitions usually occur within a cultural or educational setting such as a museum, art gallery, park, library, exhibition hall, or World's fairs. Exhibitions can include many things such as art in both major museums and smaller galleries, interpretive exhibitions, natural history museums and history museums, and also varieties such as more commercially focused exhibitions and trade fairs.

While many exhibitions are shown in just one venue, some exhibitions are shown in multiple locations a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
