General Land Centennial Exhibition

The General Land Centennial Exhibition was a World's fair held in 1891 in Prague, then in the Austria-Hungarian Empire.

Taking place towards the end of the Austria-Hungarian empire this exhibition was a demonstration of what was to soon become Czechoslovakia's desire for independence.

The German population in Prague attempted to move the 1891 expo to the following year when it could not be used to mark the century.

[2] The biggest building was the Průmyslový palace designed by Bedřich Münzberger The fair was opened on 15 May 1891 by Archduke Karl Ludwig and attended by government ministers, the governor Count Franz Thun and Prince George Lobkowicz.

Paintings shown included works by Emanuel Krescenc Liška[3] and Hopeless Love by Augustin Němejc which won a second prize.
