International Exhibition of Art (1911)

International Exhibition of Art, (Italian - Esposizione internazionale d'arte), a world's fair held in Rome in 1911 to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the unification of Italy. It marked the beginnings of the National Roman Museum. The fair's receipts were disappointing over the summer of 1911 because of poor weather and a cholera epidemic.

The British Pavilion from it, designed by British architect Sir Edwin Lutyens, was in 1912 taken over by the British School at Rome, who still hold it.
