 Traditional musical instruments of Brazil are displayed.

The ICOM Pavilion explores the interdependence and interaction between museums and the city -- in culture, society, economy, innovation and environment.

Remarkably simple and modern in design, the pavilion has a circular atrium that can serve both as an exhibition area and an activity venue. A video screen in the back creates a sensational setting of a modern museum.
