Description

National Pavillion of the Kingdom of Bahrain

The pavilion of the Kingdom of Bahrain in Milan showcases the agrarian cultural heritage of the country, which stems from the ancient civilization of Dilmun. With ten distinctive orchards containing trees that were fruitbearing at different moments of the six-month Expo, the pavilion also features archaeological artefacts that celebrate the millennia-long tradition of agriculture and perpetuate the many myths of Bahrain as the location of the Garden of Eden and the Land of One Million Palm Trees.
