UKRAINE PAVILION (COMMONS C)
Ukraine in wartime. The pavilion is decorated with a "NOT FOR SALE" board. "The exhibits are not for sale, but for the values that we fight for and protect."
Each of the blue exhibits symbolizes human values such as "freedom," "dignity," and "toughness." Each has a barcode, and when you read it, instead of displaying the "price", a video is displayed on the monitor and the real "value" of the thing such as "right to education", "freedom of choice", and "right to medical care" is written.
I was particularly moved by the blue horse figurine with the word "child" on it. When the barcode is scanned, Video of a stuffed horse stained with blood and children frightened by war is projected.
Peace negotiations have been slow to progress. Ukraine's National Day falls on August 5, and we can only hope that a ceasefire will be achieved by then.

EXPO2025 Netherlands Pavilion
The Dutch Pavilion stands out for its huge white sphere with a diameter of about 11 meters. After sunset, the sphere shines a pale purple color and is very beautiful.
In the Netherlands, where about one-quarter of the country is less than 0 meters above sea level, the theme is coexistence with water. If you bring a small glowing sphere called an "energy orb" that you receive when you enter the museum close to the terminal display, the color will change. The climax is a Video on a screen in a large sphere. The "energy orb" held by the visitor glows purple, creating a sense of unity.
There are an explanation with furigana in a low position for small children.
The shop has a variety of things that are irresistible for Miffy lovers.
Dutch cafes are recommended for waffles and coffee. I wanted to try "Pickled in salt herring", but unfortunately it was out of stock. They are waiting for the next Receiving.

[Spain Pavilion]
The symbols of the Spanish Pavilion are the sea and the sun. The pavilion is divided into two parts.
The first part is the sea 🌊
He introduced how Spain, the "Kuroshio" that created rich exchanges between East and West, and Japan have been connected by this "Kuroshio" for centuries, and how the two countries have been connected by a powerful invisible thread. The exhibit has the atmosphere of suddenly diving into the deep sea. There was also a simple explanation of the sentence with furigana in a low position so that children could read it.
The next part is the sun ☀
In the bright orange space where music streamed, the exhibition contrasted postcards (= analog) and digital communication.
Thereare shops and cafes selling wine, olive oil, goods, etc. I drank sangria at the café and went home 😅 tipsy

Canada Pavilion
The concept is "Regeneration"
The exterior of the pavilion is said to express the Nature phenomenon "Water freezing" seen in Canada = the formation of ice created by the melting and stream of ice on the river surface. (You can see it well if you climb the large roof ring and look at it from above.)
The Canada Pavilion will lend you a tablet device when you enter the museum.
Art installations are lined up in the exhibition room, and when you point your tablet camera at them, AR (augmented reality) displays Canada's diversity, creativity, rich nature, and future on the screen.
I enjoyed 👀 it more than just looking at the exhibits

05/
[French Pavilion]
Mainly sponsored by LVMH, the exhibition celebrates Maisons such as Louis Vuitton and Dior, as well as exceptional craftsmanship and creativity.
In the exhibition in collaboration with Louis Vuitton and architect Shohei Shigematsu, 85 trunks are used to project the process of manufacturing into an open trunk. It was a masterpiece.
Before becoming a couturier, Christian Dior originally wanted to be an architect. As an exhibition that reflects this spirit, one of the highlights is "Lady Dior" by architect Kazuyo Sejima.
On the way, you will come out into the outside space. This space is like resting chopsticks, and when you feel calm、、、 there is a 2,300-year-old olive tree. I have come to touch the tree to get energy so that I can live a long life.
And the Croissants sold at the French Pavilion are popular, so be sure to try them.

The Italian Pavilion is as popular as the American Pavilion
