Visual Landscape of the Pan-American Exposition of 1901
Exhibition buildings--New York (State)--Buffalo
Exhibitions--Social aspects--New York (State)--Buffalo--History
Visual culture at the Pan-American Exposition was richly represented throughout the grounds, with the use of architecture and sculpture as well as artistic exhibits and galleries of fine art. Such visual exhibits were primarily the work of artists from the United States, although significant contributions were made by other "Pan-American" countries like Canada, Mexico and Chile. The Albright Art Gallery, building of marble designed to resemble the temples of Ancient Greece, was to be constructed on the Exposition grounds and was intended to house the Exhibit of Fine Arts. That it was not completed in time for the Exposition was not lost upon Exposition visitors, as this imposing building's construction was itself, an exhibit.
Immigrant Communities of Buffalo and the Pan-American Exposition of 1901
Immigrants--New York (State)--Buffalo--20th century
Exhibitions--United States--New York (State)--Buffalo

This component of the online exhibit is limited to addressing four of the larger immigrant communities existing in Buffalo at the time of the Pan-American Exposition: German, Italian, Polish and Irish.

Health Care and Medical Technology at the Pan-American Exposition of 1901
Exhibitions--United States--New York (State)--Buffalo Pan-American Exposition (1901:Buffalo, N.Y.) Medicine--History--20th century
This portion of the exhibit, Illuminations: Revisiting the Buffalo Pan-American Exposition of 1901, provides a fascinating glimpse into the general state of health care and medical technology available at the turn of the century. What could attendees at the Exposition expect in terms of hygiene and health care? Were restroom facilities provided, and were they kept clean? Were doctors and medical equipment available on the grounds? Who drove the ambulance that carried the wounded President McKinley? These pages contain some interesting and less well-known facts about maladies that befell Pan-Am goers, what attendees could expect in terms of health-care and hygiene, the medical equipment available at the time, the caregivers who tended to visitors, and information about other health-related events that occurred on the Exposition grounds.
