Tour an ancient cultural crossroads
The Central Asian nation of Turkmenistan, located between the Arab and western worlds, has been a crossroads of cultures since the days of the Silk Road. The Turkmenistan Pavilion offers a bold showcase of the region’s diverse people and places, celebrating its rich history and future promise as a global meeting ground.
The exterior design draws inspiration from traditional circular tents (or yurts), handcrafted carpets, and Akhal-Teke horses, and the pavilion dazzles thanks to a colossal 50-metre LED screen that spans one side. Inside, a wealth of technologically enhanced exhibits showcase the best of Turkmenistan’s culture, landscapes, export goods and more.
