The programme of events

A dedicated programme of events will set the pace of the France Pavilion for six months. This will be based on the Pavilion’s main theme (a hymn to Love), as well as the UN’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals.

The temporary exhibitions

There will be six temporary exhibitions following on from each other over the six months of Expo 2025 Osaka, with each one lasting a month. The temporary exhibitions will feature examples of traditional knowledge alongside heritage and contemporary works, as well as live immersive experiences in a dedicated area on the France Pavilion’s ground floor.
