[00:06.200] --- First listen and then answer the question.
[00:11.960] --- How many people visited the Great Exhibition of 1851?
[00:20.280] Perhaps the most extraordinary building of the nineteenth century was the Crystal Palace,^19
[00:27.440] which was built in Hyde Park for the Great Exhibition of 1851.
[00:34.560] The Crystal Palace was different from all other buildings in the world, for it was made of iron and glass.
[00:43.280] It was one of the biggest buildings of all time and a lot of people from many countries came to see it.
[00:52.360] A great many goods were sent to the exhibition from various parts of the world.
[00:59.120] There was also a great deal of machinery on display.
[01:03.680] The most wonderful piece of machinery on show was Nasmyth's steam hammer.
[01:11.000] Though in those days, travelling was not as easy as it is today, steam boats carried thousands of visitors across the Channel from Europe.
[01:22.360] On arriving in England, they were taken to the Crystal Palace by train.
[01:29.040] There were six million visitors in all, and the profits from the exhibition were used to build museums and colleges.
[01:38.680] Later, the Crystal Palace was moved to South London.
[01:43.360] It remained one of the most famous buildings in the world until it was burnt down in 1936.
