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.

Italy’s voyage to Expo 2020 began long before opening day, when three custom-crafted boats set sail from Venice, Genoa and Naples. Nearly 10,000 kilometres later, the vessels arrived in Dubai and were hoisted up on steel pillars to form the roof of the Italy Pavilion, a striking showcase of culture, science and the nautical arts.

Inside the pavilion, beyond a dramatic veil of LED strands, stylish exhibits await. See a five-metre-tall 3D-printed replica of Michelangelo’s legendary David statue, learn about algae at a cluster of naturally multicoloured pools or gaze up and contemplate the fanciful hanging gardens embedded in the boats’ hulls.


Italy logo

The Italy Pavilion at Expo 2020 is a dramatic, open structure reminiscent of a giant carnival tent, with a swooping canopy and a layer of 20-metre-tall white strands surrounding its interior like a veil. A set of high steel pillars support its imaginative roof, which is formed from the hulls of three boats.
