The grounds and buildings were partly located around the Solbosch district and partly in the Cinquantenaire Park (remainder of the World Fair of 1897), where the art exhibition took place. The colonial exhibition took place in the newly built Palace of the Colonies in Tervuren. The Mont des Arts was constructed in the center of Brussels. The park with a monumental staircase, with fountains, waterfalls and sculptures, was one of the attractions of the World Fair. [3] Most of the buildings were demolished during the 60s and 70s of the 20th century.
