I want to know the answer to the following question:
What was the purpose of the 1889 Universal Exposition?
All the background I'm provided with is that "Paris became the laboratory of Naturalism (Émile Zola) and Symbolism (Charles Baudelaire and Paul Verlaine), and of Impressionism in art (Courbet, Manet, Monet, Renoir.)". Is that enough to answer the question?
Answer: no
