Step into the recreated Great Exhibition of 1851, held in London's Hyde Park inside the iconic Crystal Palace. This VR simulation lets you roam the vast temporary structure that drew six million visitors to see over 100,000 exhibits from May to October. A narrator guides you through each display and details the building itself.

History enthusiasts and simulation fans will appreciate the narrated walkthrough of Victorian-era wonders.
