The outdoor lawn area (courtyard) features a 1/100 scale model of the large roof and an EXPO '70 monument, making it a popular photo spot. Access to the annex is only possible from the main building's tour route.

Permanent Exhibitions

Located in the eastern area of ​​Expo Commemoration Park, the EXPO '70 Pavilion uses the Steel Pavilion, which was part of the 1970 Japan World Exposition (Osaka Expo), and opened in 2010 as a memorial museum for the exposition. In 2023, an annex was added, further expanding the exhibits.

Exhibition Halls

The main building's permanent exhibition halls span approximately 2,000 square meters across the first and second floors. Comprised of 15 themes ranging from "The Journey to EXPO '70" to "The World Expo That Lives On," it carefully traces the enthusiasm and records of that era through approximately 3,000 World Expo materials.

Space Theater

The Space Theater (viewed through glass), originally designed with the theme of "the building itself as a musical instrument," is a remarkable space that conveys the cutting-edge sound system of that time. In the annex, the original "Golden Face" that was installed at the top of the Tower of the Sun is on display, and there is also a zone where you can experience the atmosphere of the Expo through videos.

Photo Opportunities

In the courtyard's outdoor lawn area, there are various outdoor photo spots, including a 1/100 scale model of the large roof that spanned from the Festival Plaza to the Sun Plaza, and the EXPO '70 monument.
