Russia Pavilion

Russia Carousel

A perfect complement to Expo’s Mobility District, the colourful, whirled design of the Russia Pavilion suggests a planet in swift motion – much like the hyperconnected one on which we all live.

Inside the pavilion’s spherical shell, a wide range of exhibits will take you on a high-velocity tour of the future of human thought, exploring how we can connect, collaborate and build mutual understanding across the globe. Come experience the possibilities of tomorrow – and sample some mouth-watering Russian cuisine.

The towering, 27-metre-high structure of the Russia Pavilion is composed of a huge sphere supported instead by two large columns, one on either side. A wide, shaded courtyard nestles between them, below the main structure. 

The building gains the appearance of speed from its vibrant exterior décor: narrow bands of bright, rainbow colour, which wrap in great loops around the pavilion, suggesting a blur of motion. A raised circle reminiscent of Saturn’s rings sticks out from the centre of the sphere, completing the planetary motif.

Russia Kids Festival

Kindermusik offers music and movement classes for babies, toddlers, big kids and families. As every parent knows, children grow at an amazingly fast pace, they're busy developing their language and literacy skills every minute as they're figuring out how to skip, hop and jump. Kindermusik understands this, the classes nurture young children's development, not just their musical development and also help language, social, emotional, and physical skills.

Two KinderMusik certified teachers will be available with a piano and props to entertain the kids aged 0-4.

Expo 2020 Dubai Opening Ceremony

Long ago, travellers referred to Dubai as Al Wasl, or “the connection” – a name that reflects the area’s heritage as a meeting point. This spirit of coming together takes shape in Al Wasl Plaza, Expo 2020’s spectacular centrepiece and gathering ground for celebration and wonder. 

Situated at the meeting point of Expo’s three thematic districts, Al Wasl Plaza's dome is tall enough to fit the Leaning Tower of Pisa beneath it. By night, she transforms into a 360-degree projection screen, blanketed by more than 250 state-of-the-art projectors. Al Wasl Plaza is a hub for visitors and the vibrant heart of our Expo.
