Among the amazing array of famous (or soon-to-be-famous) people walking the fairgrounds of the 1893 World’s Columbian Exposition in Chicago was the Margaret “Molly” Brown. Posthumously known as “The Unsinkable Molly Brown,” she was a survivor of the tragic sinking of the Titanic, while her shipmate Francis (“Frank”) Millet, Director of Decoration and Function at the Columbian Exposition, went down with the ship.

A new temporary exhibit about the 1893 World’s Columbian Exposition has opened at the Molly Brown House Museum in Denver, Colorado. “The World Is Changing Exhibit” explores the summer when the Brown family visited the World’s Fair in Chicago. Visitors can see unique original artifacts from the Fair, learn about the wonders experienced by the thousands of visitors, and discover how the world was changed by this momentous event.

“The World is Changing” runs from May 3 to August 27, 2023. A concurrent “The World Is Changing: Under the Lens” event series features “Architecture at the World’s Fair” on Tuesday, May 23 (held at Flora House, 1430 Race St., Denver; “Food at the World’s Fair” on Tuesday, June 27; “Innovations at the World’s Fair” on Tuesday, July 25; and “Representation at the Fair” on Tuesday, Aug. 22.
