A kaleidoscope is only a small tube, but look through its lens and an entire galaxy of colour explodes into view. This is the philosophy behind the prismatic Monaco Pavilion, an exquisitely designed offering from one of the world’s tiniest nations that nevertheless showcases a wealth of Monégasque treasures.

From first sight, the pavilion dazzles with its gemlike, solar-panel-covered main façade, inspired by the principality’s legendary Rock of Monaco. And just like the famously maze-like streets of Monaco itself, the pavilion’s layout offers surprises around every corner: interactive penguins, unforgettable kaleidoscopic visual displays and more.

The Monaco Pavilion honors the country’s legendary Rock of Monaco with a design that centres on a large, boulder-like structure covered in reflective solar panels at the front of a long, rectangular building. Visitors climb up a series of ramps set amid a stylized rocky terrain planted with trees and flowers to reach the striking, stone-like form. The sides of the pavilion are painted with a colorful, dazzling kaleidoscopic pattern, echoing the mirror-like motif of its grand centrepiece.

Colombia Carousel

From the streets of Bogotá and beyond, the entire world dances to the beats of Colombian music stars like Shakira and J Balvin. At the lively Colombia Pavilion, you’ll see — and most importantly, hear — how this infectious rhythm connects the nation to a thriving future of culture, innovation and urban growth.

The pavilion’s airy, free-ranging design represents Colombia itself, open and unbounded. In and around its four light-filled floors, an abundance of rhythmic attractions awaits: interactive instruments that let you play along with the music, a giant digital jukebox, holographic light shows and more.

The Colombia pavilion’s airy, playful design looks more like a three-dimensional checkerboard than a traditional building. The structure trades typical walls for a rectangular grid of colossal white metal beams and transparent panels and floors, which meet at varying levels to create a four-story tower of platforms, open air plazas, and spacious rooms that peek out in unexpected directions.

Known for its beautiful white-sand beaches and clear turquoise waters, the natural landscape of the Bahamas faces a grave threat: the 700 islands that make up the country could lose 80 per cent of their land to rising sea levels before the century is over. Drawing on digital displays, artworks, documentary films and more, the Bahamas Pavilion explores how the nation’s citizens are working to solve the urgent issue of climate change. Experience the creativity and resilience of the Bahamian spirit through a wide-ranging tour of the islands’ culture.
