France Pavilion of Expo 2010

France Pavilion of Expo 2010, Exhibition hall at World Expo Shanghai, China.

The France Pavilion of Expo 2010 is a rectangular exhibition hall in Zone C of the Shanghai World Expo site, covering 6,000 square meters. Its exterior is wrapped in a lattice structure resembling the Eiffel Tower. Inside are five exhibition halls themed on taste, sight, touch, smell, and hearing.

The pavilion was built for the 2010 Shanghai World Expo and received the third prize for theme development. The event attracted over 70 million visitors from 190 countries and represented one of the largest international exhibition projects of that period.

The building displayed artworks from the Musée d'Orsay, including paintings by Cézanne, Millet, Manet, Van Gogh, and Gauguin alongside a Rodin sculpture. These works reflected French artistic traditions from the 19th century and gave visitors insight into how art shaped French cultural expression.

The pavilion is a rectangular block in Zone C of the Expo site, wrapped in a lattice grid modelled on the Eiffel Tower. Inside, five halls follow taste, sight, touch, smell and hearing in sequence, ending at the Sixth Sense restaurant run by the Pourcel brothers. Since November 2014 the building has housed the 21st Century Minsheng Art Museum.

The building uses an innovative wire mesh made from specialized concrete material that supports vertical gardens while creating the effect of a floating palace. This material allowed it to support heavy trees and vegetation while keeping the exterior light and airy in appearance.
