The mystery of pavilions’ after life is again solved … at least partly …  for instance, the Czech Republic announced that it sold its Expo pavilion´s exhibition to the Czechoslovak-Chinese Friendship Farm, a conglomerate situated a several-hour ride away from Beijing. This farm was built in the 1950s with the help of  Czechoslovakia and employs 180,000 people.

The farm is said to rebuild the pavilion and to operate it so that it continue representing the Czech Republic. It will take 22 exhibits and works that can be removed from the pavilion to its premises after Expo ends.
