A look at the Belgian pavilion at the 2025 World Expo in Osaka.
With a theme of “human rebirth,” this pavilion represents fundamental elements of life: water and cells. The design has three layers each dedicated to one of the three states of water—liquid, solid, and gas—and also representing the nation’s three major regions.
Inside the hall are exhibitions introducing the nation’s emphasis on the fields of life science and healthcare with cutting edge technology using AI and robots.
The rooftop terrace has a restaurant where guests can enjoy chocolate, waffles, and beer with a view of the stage and the Expo site.
The Belgian pavilion is located in the Saving Lives zone. (See the official map for details.) Belgium marks its national day on Sunday, September 14, at the Expo National Day Hall.
