ExpoMuseum

 

ExpoMuseum was first created as a web site in 1998. Since then, the site has gone through several incarnations and now receives 20,000 to 25,000 unique visitors each month. 2007 saw the addition of a blog 7. In 2009. we partnered with WorldsFairCommunity.org who hosts the discusion boards, a Twitter feed was added, and we started The World's Fair Podcast.

The dream is for ExpoMuseum to someday be a physical museum dedicated to the history of all world expositions in much the same spirit as the Olympic Museum in Lausanne, Switzerland.

The site was created and is maintained by Urso Chappell, who has had a passion for world's fairs ever since his first world's fair at the age of 15 when he visited the 1982 World's Fair. Since then, he has visited the 1984 Louisiana Purchase Exposition, Expo '86, Expo '98, Expo 2000, Expo 2005, and Expo 2008. Urso's background, experience, and skills are further described at UrsoChappell.com.
