Die Kolumbianische Weltausstellung war eine Weltausstellung, die 1893 in Chicago stattfand, um den 400. Jahrestag der Ankunft von Christoph Kolumbus in der Neuen Welt im Jahr 1492 zu feiern. Das ikonische Herzstück der Messe, das große Wasserbecken, stellte die lange Reise dar, die Kolumbus in die Neue Welt unternahm. Die Ausstellung war ein einflussreiches gesellschaftliches und kulturelles Ereignis und hatte tiefgreifende Auswirkungen auf Architektur, sanitäre Einrichtungen, Kunst, Chicagos Selbstverständnis und den amerikanischen Industrieoptimismus.
