EXPO Estonian Delegation Head Andres Kase said that it is a great recognition for Estonia. "We have one of the lowest budgeted self-built pavilions at the world exhibition. We do not star with glamour and grandeur, we compete with countries that have invested tens of millions of euros in the construction, but, nevertheless, we have already been noticed," he said.

 

The keywords of the Estonian pavilion are Northern smartness, pure food and nature, outstanding design, world-class music, led by Arvo Pärt and special Estonian people.

 

Estonian pavilion "Gallery of_" is a three-storey gallery consisting of wooden nesting boxes, which is open to visitors via two entrances. The multifunctional building's each floor has its own exhibition and function. It is possible to swing in the spaces between the wooden boxes.

Visitors are guided by artificial intelligence-guide developed in collaboration with Skype Estonia, which helps the visitor to get information via smartphone. The pavilion contains 34 swings (some of them measure kinetic energy), a self-playing Estonia piano, 200 Click & Grow smart plants and handcrafted luxury bike Renard.

 

The first floor of the pavilion contains a permanent exhibition introducing Estonia via video installations. One of the main attractions of the exhibition will be exhibition "Good Estonian Things" which opens on the second floor at the Estonian National Day on June 7. The third floor is partially with an open roof, and there lies the Estonian nature exhibition.

 

Estonian pavilion will be open until October 31. Altogether 145 states participate at EXPO 2015.
