Music meets space in the “Music of the Spheres” concert, which will take you on an imaginary journey to explore the symbiosis between musical genius and images registered by Italian satellites and projected onto a screen at Expo 2020. Metaphorically immersed in the depth of space, the young virtuoso musicians of the Orchestra Sinfonica Nazionale dei Conservatori Italiani will perform pieces taken from the soundtracks of famous blockbusters, by two of Italy’s greatest film music composers: Ennio Morricone and Nino Rota.

Inside Expo: The Next Great Frontier 

Space travel and exploration has captured imaginations for generations and the dream of space tourism is now closer to being a reality than ever. At the same time, with outer space remaining one of our few truly shared resources, peacefully managing this distant realm remains crucial. During this fascinating week, we highlight the latest innovations in space research and travel, while also providing a platform to discuss critical issues.

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.

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.

The Poland Pavilion at Expo 2020 is an elegant homage to the country’s ecological wonders, with a special focus on its treasured native birds.

The forests, rivers and lakes of Poland are the breeding grounds for 25 per cent of Europe’s migratory birds, and you’ll see these fine feathered friends honoured in grand style with the pavilion’s impressive centrepiece: a kinetic sculpture suspended in the air, featuring thousands of fluttering “birds”. Fly on in for a wealth of imaginative exhibits, from immersive virtual-reality experiences to a unique “Polish Table” art installation, complete with interactive light projections.

The Poland Pavilion is a three-level modular wooden structure that expands upwards, surrounded by flocks of white kinetic bird sculptures inspired by the country’s treasured winged residents. Vertical slats of exposed timber form the exterior surfaces of the main building, which resembles a stack of shipping containers arranged into an upside-down pyramid.
