The Technological Movement and the Garden Palace
Sydney's 1879 International Exhibition in the Garden Palace—the building modelled on Paxton's Crystal Palace for the Great Exhibition of 1851—was originally intended as an agricultural exhibition; the expansion into an international exhibition of arts, crafts and manufactures from America and European and Asian countries eventually brought a revolution in the Australian world-view: from being a primary producing country servicing the manufactures of distant England to the beginning of independent industry. With this came a revolution in technical education—an improvement in local training for the trades, crafts and commerce, followed by new developments in higher education.
