Köchert Juweliere, who were also part of the World's Fair and relocated to the present location on Neuer Markt in 1873, continue to offer worlds of luxury like in those days. Themes are design processes, Lobmeyr's understanding of materials, and the icons that were created at Lobmeyr in the last 200 years. From September to December 2023, an exhibition will therefore run under the motto "Design". At the same time, Lobmeyr is celebrating its 200th anniversary as a company in 2023. It spans an arc from the 1862 London World's Fair via Vienna in 1873, Cologne in 1914, and Paris in 1925 to the "Passionswege" of Vienna Design Week of more recent times. For this reason, a small show on the second floor of the business is dedicated to the topic of Lobmeyr at World's Fairs from April to July 2023. Lobmeyr was part of many World's Fairs and also celebrated huge success in Vienna in 1873. Lobmeyr on Kärntner Strasse is directly connected to the World's Fair.

They are dedicated to the opening of Japan and the “Orient” to Europe – because the Vienna World's Fair was a premier at which Japan, along with Morocco, Egypt, Tunisia, the Ottoman Empire and Persia presented themselves in depth to the world for the very first time. The Weltmuseum Wien (World Museum Vienna) is also in the spirit of the World’s Fair: here you will find two halls featuring a special focus on the World’s Fair. Weltmuseum Wien: Austro-Japanese friendship The Israelite Institute for the Blind subsequently became a pioneer in the inclusion of visually impaired people in Austria-Hungary and viewed its work as a major step forward in the social integration of both blind people and Jews. It was a pioneering achievement in the field of inclusion and cooperation. The conference focussed on education, employment and integration of blind people. This Institute for the Blind organised the first Pan-European Conference of Teachers of the Blind as part of the World’s Fair.
