    The
    Louisiana Purchase Exposition
    , informally known as the
    St. Louis World's Fair
    , was an
    international exposition
    held in
    St. Louis
    ,
    Missouri
    ,
    United States
    , from April 30 to December 1, 1904. Local, state, and federal funds totaling million were used to finance the event. More than 60 countries and 43 of the then-45 American states maintained exhibition spaces at the fair, which was attended by nearly 19.7 million people.
    Historians generally emphasize the prominence of themes of
    race
    and
    empire
    , and the fair's long-lasting impact on
    intellectuals
    in the fields of
    history
    ,
    art history
    ,
    architecture
    and
    anthropology
    . From the point of view of the memory of the average person who attended the fair, it primarily promoted entertainment, consumer goods and popular culture.
