Joint African Pavilion

The Joint African Pavilion consists of exhibitions provided by 42 African countries including Angola, Ethiopia, Cameroon, Zambia, and Sudan. The Pavilion embraces the theme of "The Great Ballad of Africa". It aims to represent the cultural diversity, solidarity, and the rosy future of the African countries.

Welcoming visitors at the entrance of the Pavilion is "Lucy", a 3-and-a-half million year old fossil of a female hominid. She was discovered in Ethiopia in 1974.

The Joint African Pavilion also features exhibits that capture the essence of African culture, such as wooden sculptures, stone sculptures, porcelains, and African garments in a variety of colors.
