The 2005 World Exposition, Aichi, Japan

March 25—September 25, 2005

The United States is honored to be a participant in World EXPO 2005, the first world’s fair of the new millennium. This international event is bringing people together from around the globe to celebrate “Nature’s Wisdom,” the deep connection between humankind and nature that is the essence of our past and the key to our future.  More than 120 countries are participating, with numerous national and regional pavilions contributing a unique perspective on EXPO's theme of Nature’s Wisdom.

Over the years, World Expos have featured some of the most exciting endeavors in invention, art, and technology—including the telephone in 1876 and the Eiffel Tower in 1889. Since their debut in London in 1851, World Expos have built a tradition of celebrating the accomplishments of history, highlighting the challenges of the present, and reaffirming the promise of the future.
