#24: Paleis voor Volksvlijt, Netherlands
Another beautiful building of the 1800s, The Paleis voor Volksvlijt, or, the Palace of Popular Industry, was a large glass exhibition building that finished construction in 1864. It was inspired by the Crystal Palace in London.
It became apparent pretty quickly the building itself would not make for a particularly good exhibition, so it instead became an entertainment center with shops, concerts and later even operas. It did not last very long, as the palace was destroyed in a fire in 1929. Another beautiful work of art lost to time.
