Timor-Leste Pavilion

Explore the undiscovered

The South East Asian nation of Timor-Leste weaves its culture into every thread of its vibrant, traditional tais fabrics. Each district boasts its own tais patterns, which are dyed using local plants and given as a gift of friendship. Timor-Leste extends that fellowship to you at its Expo 2020 pavilion, which offers beautiful displays of tais and authentic wood carvings, as well as inviting aromas of native spices and local coffee. The pavilion also recreates a bird-like Timor totem house, where you can watch videos spotlighting the resilient working families that power this young nation and add your own thread to their tais.
