Industrial products are the main focus of the exhibition.
The Senegal Pavilion mainly displays products for export, such as shoes and bags. The panels focus on “Senegal as a manufacturing industry,” including the background of production and export destinations, and the exhibition is not very voluminous.
Not very Senegalese.
If you come expecting to see African music, costumes, and videos, you may be disappointed. There were no elements of traditional culture or lifestyle to be found, and the booth was more like a corporate booth. If there were more exhibits that put the “face of culture” in the foreground, the impression might have been different.
Almost no crowds, short viewing time.
As of April, the Senegal Pavilion is not crowded, and visitors can enter with little or no wait time. The pavilion is simple, so it is likely that many visitors will finish looking around in about 10 minutes. It is a good place to stop by when there is a gap in time, but I have the impression that the contents are not worth the trouble of visiting.
Summary｜May not be enough if you are looking for “Expo-like” atmosphere
The Senegal Pavilion is so dedicated to the display of industrial products that there is little in the way of cultural introduction. There are few visuals or staging, and the overall structure is rather bland. The information is current as of April, and we hope to see more updates in the future. However, visitors who are looking for “surprises and discoveries unique to the Expo” may find the content lacking.
