Hungary Exhibition: Immersive Journey: One Globe, One Spirit
At Expo 2025 Osaka Kansai, the Hungarian pavilion offers a rich cultural experience for visitors, with live folk music performances and traditional culinary delicacies. The pavilion, located in the Saving Lives zone, has been designed with materials inspired by respect for nature and cultural heritage.
The Hungarian pavilion's exterior has been captured by Kuroiwa Masakazu of 96-Box, showcasing its unique features, including over 30,000 thin strips that flutter like leaves. Inside, the Immersive Dome resembles a pile of fallen leaves and hosts live performances of folk music.
One of the highlights of the Hungarian pavilion is the Ballet Company of Győr, which delivers immersive performances that blend traditional Hungarian folk music with modern dance. These performances have been highly acclaimed and even drew the attention of Japanese Imperial Princess Hisako of Takamado during her visit.
In addition to the live performances, Hungarian culinary traditions are showcased prominently. Visitors can sample mangalica pork, a heritage Hungarian pig breed known for its exceptional quality, unique flavor, and health benefits. The pavilion has also featured events around iconic Hungarian sweets, such as Szamos marzipan, paired with traditional tea ceremonies.
Hungarian wines are also highlighted at the pavilion, with sessions organized by Wines of Hungary. These sessions provide a platform for female Hungarian winemakers to share their expertise, showcasing the quality and diversity of Hungary’s wine industry.
