It was considered a great engineering achievement and all subsequent world fairs (like the ones in New York) were inspired by this. Iam and Mekhala got it. Well done.

Opening of the Great Exibition @ Hyde Park, London by Queen Victoria
in 1851
Queen Victoria opening the Great Exhibition in 1851 at the Crystal Palace, Hyde Park, London. The Kohinoor was first exhibited to the public here.
This event is repeatedly referred to in JG Farrell's 'The siege of Krishnapur'. Bangalore's Glass House in Lal Bagh is modeled after the Crystal Palace.
