Where its name comes from

Kind of name: Commemorative name
Theme: Foreign relations

Il s'agit ici d'une référence à l'Exposition universelle de 1958. Il est curieux de remarquer que sur la commune de Ganshoren, le nom est 'Avenue de l'Exposition Universelle'. Mais très vite, cela change pour 'Avenue de l'Exposition' et reste ainsi sur toute la commune de Jette... (remark in French, as published)
