Show transcript
Many people in Victorian Britain were proud of new inventions that were introduced at that time. Prince Albert was one of these people; in 1851, he organised the Great Exhibition to celebrate new modern inventions. The Crystal Palace, a huge steel and glass building, was built for the exhibition. Albert invited inventors from all over Britain and the world to show off their inventions. More than six million people, roughly a third of Britain's population, visited the exhibition.
