What does the Expo \/ World Exposition of 1958 have to do with Prague? This was our question when we followed the signs for “Expo 1958” in Letn\u00e1 Park. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
The Expo 1958 took place from April to October 1958 in the capital of Belgium, in Brussels. It was the first world exhibition to be held after the end of World War II. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Each world exhibition revolves around a certain theme. For this world exhibition, the theme was “Technology at the service of men. Progress of Humanity through Progress of Technology “. The main focus of the exhibition was on space technologies and nuclear power at the time. The Belgian industry used this opportunity to present its efforts, but the Expo was mostly characterised by the rivalry of the Western powers with the Eastern bloc. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
