The Ghent International Exposition of 1913 (Шаблон:Lang-nl, Шаблон:Lang-fr) was a world's fair held in Ghent, Belgium, from 26 April to 3 November 1913.[1]

History

A number of buildings were completed for the occasion. Notably, Gent-Sint-Pieters railway station was completed in 1912 in time for the exposition,[2] and was situated opposite the new hotel, Flandria Palace.[3] A park, Citadelpark, was redesigned for the fair. The exposition was held on an area of Шаблон:Convert, which was larger than Expo 58 in Brussels.[4] Various Belgian cities had a pavilion and an artificial town, called "Oud Vlaenderen" (Old Flanders) was created.[5]

The four sons of Aymon statue, depicting Reinout, Adelaert, Ritsaert and Writsaert on their horse, Beyaert, was erected on the central approach avenue to the exposition.[6]

In preparation for the exhibition, renovations were made in the centre of Ghent, including a large number of houses on the Graslei.[7][8] Some years beforen the neo-gothic St Michael's Bridge had been built to provide visitors to the exhibition with a vantage point to view the town,[9] the post office[10] and the Korenmarkt (Wheat Market) had been built, and the carved heads now arrayed around it represented the rulers who attended the exhibition (including Florence Nightingale).[9] The construction of the exhibition was controversial and ended on the eve of World War I with serious debts.[11]

During the fair, an international conference on urban planning was held, organised by Paul Saintenoy, Emile Vinck, and Paul Otlet.[12]

Belgium's first aerial postage service was operated from 1 May to 25 August by Henri Crombez during the exposition.[13]

Greek confectionery maker Leonidas Kestekides attended the fair, and then settled permanently in Belgium and founded the Leonidas chocolate company.
