Norway pavilion Shanghai Expo 2010
The Norway pavilion at the Shanghai Expo 2010 will be called “15 trees”. The Norwegian government wants to keep the “15 trees” in China after the Shanghai Expo 2010 as a “symbol of the friendly relations between the two countries”.
The Norway pavilion might be split and moved to different areas of China, or relocated as a whole.
The “trees” could become restaurants, conference halls or found in parks for people to enjoy.
The Norwegian pavilion at the Shanghai Expo 2010 cost 150 million Norwegian kroner (US$22.8 million), half provided by the Norwegian government and the other half from companies.
