The Expo Museum is the first international museum in China in the true sense, as well as a unique museum worldwide that comprehensively showcases the theme of the World Expo. The architectural design theme of the museum is ‘Expo Memory’ and ‘Urban Life’, which is interpreted by two images representing history, contemplation, and eternity known as the ‘Historical Valley’, and representing the future, openness, and the moment known as the ‘Celebration Cloud’.

The 1-4 halls in the permanent exhibition mainly display the development and historical appearance of the World Expo from 1851 to 2008, while the 5-7 halls focus on the 2010 Shanghai World Expo in China, and the 8th hall mainly presents the exciting content of the World Expos that continue after the 2010 Expo.
