The Exposition Universelle of 1900 was held both at the Champs-de-Mars and next to the Champs-lyses, where a Grand and Petit Palais were constructed. One of its most popular features was the Temple of Electricity, near the Champs-lyses, which had a series of illuminated fountains in front, with lamps shining blue, white and red light. The innovation of 1900 was a keyboard which allowed a rapid series of different colors. These set the pattern for others to copy.
