Finland Pavilion 

The Finnish pavilion is called Kirnu (“A device used to make butter and milk”). It is characterized as a miniature city built by Finns and it tells stories about Finnish nature and society. The pavilion contains large video installations (70 meters × 7½ meters) designed by artist Jaana Partanen and architect Heikki Lamusuo and a unique elevator named ‘Lantern’, specially designed by KONE.
