📖 Excerpt from the Wikipedia article
The Melbourne Centennial Exhibition of 1888–1889 was organised to celebrate a century of European settlement in Australia. The Exhibition Building, constructed in 1880 for the Melbourne International Exhibition, was extended and reused. The Centennial Exhibition focused on Australia itself, and emphasised music and painting that attracted many visitors. However the Exhibition was not recognised by the Bureau of International Expositions as a "world's fair".
