The Great Exhibition 2012's Profile

About

The Great Exhibition 2012 will capture the true Spirit of Great Britain. With its origins based in the original 1851 Great Exhibition and the Festival of Britain 1951, we feel that this is the perfect time to highlight and celebrate all that is “Great” about this country. In 1851 we competed against the world in the exhibition of all nations with Britain as Host Nation. In 2012 as the Host Nation for the largest sporting competition in the World and the platform from which the Queen will celebrate her Diamond Jubilee, 2012 truly is the year to remind ourselves and rejoice in all that is “Great” about Great Britain in the 21st Century.
