This event has ended.
The Expo ’70 Pavilion was called the Steel Pavilion when the Japan World Exposition ’70, was held. Its theme was “Song of Steel”, and it was a facility used as a music hall for the duration of the Expo from March 15th to September 13th where the concerts were held, and attended by approximately 7 million people. On March 13th, 2010, on the 40th Anniversary of the Japan World Expo ’70, it was opened to the public with a new name, “the Expo ’70 Pavilion” to commemorate the Expo.
In this permanent exhibition, which is the main attraction of the Expo ’70 Pavilion, visitors can see amazingly realistic displays of events at the time of the Japan World
Expo ’70 and the transformation of the site into the Expo ’70 Commemorative Park through videos, photographs and donated exhibits which were items that were actually exhibited during the Expo, as well as through newly created models. The rapid economic growth of Japan, the preparations for the Japan World Exposition which was the first Expo in Asia and which was held at the peak of the economic growth, each of the pavilions and the various events at the Expo and how they were managed, the records created by the Expo in the history of World Expositions, etc. are presented here. The project to revive the site after the Expo as a self-sustaining forest is also presented.
