Indeed, these are the structures built for World Fairs (Universal Exposition).
The structures are (in clockwise order) Atomium, Crystal Palace, Skyneedle, Eiffel Tower, and Unisphere.
“World Fair” is the name given to various large public exhibitions held since the mid-19th century. They are the third largest event in the world in terms of economic and cultural impact after the FIFA World Cup and the Olympic Games. They have been organized for more than one and a half centuries — longer than both the (modern) Olympic Games and the World Cup.
The first Expo was held in The Crystal Palace in Hyde Park, London, in 1851 under the title “Great Exhibition of the Works of Industry of All Nations”.
Congratulations to Pooja, Prat and Ashaya for getting it exactly right.
