Ukraine Pavilion

Decorations of red, black and white on the wall of the pavilion may look like eight trigrams but actually are symbols originating from ancient cultures of local tribes. Whirlpools with snake patterns in the middle signify the passing of time and change of climates; dog patterns symbolize driving away evil forces; the sun is a symbol for endless power. Exhibitions in the pavilion follow the theme of “From Ancient to Modern City” and display the development of Ukraine from its agricultural time to the modern culture and architectures of the future.
