Luxembourg Pavilion

Occupying just a small area in the Expo site, the Luxembourg Pavilion is planning on making full use of the limited space by integrating wisdom and imagination to demonstrate its theme of “Small Is Beautiful.”

The pavilion design concept comes from the literal Chinese translation of Luxembourg – “forest and fortress.” Its profile is inspired by the medieval tower. The pavilion will be covered with a plant wall conveying the image of a forest with a tower that will be surrounded by greenery.

Highlight 1: Visitor-oriented Design – People-friendly designs including ample entry gates and exits will allow visitors to avoid long lines and ensure a long stay in the pavilion. Visitors may watch video programs, or take a rest while enjoying the beautiful scenery on the green roof. Children can also play in the game area at the open wing tower.

Highlight 2 ‘Gelle Fra’ (Golden Lady) – The original ‘Gelle Fra’ (Golden Lady), the most important national symbol of Luxembourg, will travel for the first time outside of the country and rest on a 3 meter high pillar in front of the Luxembourg pavilion awaiting the Expo visitors in Shanghai.

Highlight 3: Example of a Modern and Comfortable Lifestyle – The design presents Luxemburg’s reputation as the “Green Heart of Europe” by demonstrating the concept of sustainable development. Built from steel, wood and glass, all recyclable materials, the pavilion will be a perfect example of a modern and comfortable lifestyle.

Highlight 4: Delicacy from Luxembourg – As another highlight of the pavilion, the restaurant will serve food and beverages from Luxembourg, such as beer, wine, champagne, sausages and traditional dishes, as well as Chinese food.
