Abstract

This article examines the Pavilion of Hungary at the 1911 Turin World’s Fair as a paradigmatic case of how world’s fairs staged consensus through the coexistence of opposing discourses. Focusing on architecture, interior design, and visual narratives, it shows how the pavilion articulated national distinctiveness while affirming cultural belonging within imperial Europe. By mobilizing myth, folklore, and modern industry, the Hungarian Pavilion functioned as a sophisticated device of cultural mediation, exemplifying the fairs’ technologies of social stabilization and symbolic negotiation.
