Youthful yet rich with history, innovative yet deeply traditional, Jordan seamlessly blends modern ingenuity with the wisdom of a legendary ancient culture. The Jordan Pavilion explores this exciting duality through captivating exhibits filled with dramatic contrasts: light versus dark, antique versus new. Nowhere is this theme more evident than in the pavilion’s magnificent entry portal, which uses clean, curving lines to evoke the Siq canyon that leads to the famed city of Petra.

Humble peat moss forms the basis for the wildly imaginative Latvia Pavilion, which uses the traditional Baltic crop to create carved panels, compressed blocks and textured walls that lead visitors through a series of engaging multimedia exhibits. The Northern European nation sees itself as a country of adaptable, creative problem-solvers - a place where technological innovation can coexist with a love for nature and sustainability. The pavilion embraces opposites, creating tableaus examining tumultuous history, exploring windswept seascapes and deep forests, and revealing how Latvia’s ancient traditions work within its cosmopolitan cities.

One of only two countries in the world made entirely of low-lying atolls – coral deposits on the crater rims of submerged volcanoes – the tropical Marshall Islands are truly beautiful. Because these Pacific Ocean islands between Hawaii and the Philippines sit barely a metre above sea level, they are acutely aware of the modern climate challenges faced by our world. The Marshall Islands Pavilion invites you to discover the islands’ history, ambitions and challenges, and share in the opportunities they offer.
