Shanghai wants to preserve five foreign pavilions from Expo 2010

| Expo in Shanghai - situation |
In Shanghai, which is the economic capital of China, they could remain for a period of 50 years, the Oriental Morning Post specified. Responsible officials in Shanghai have not yet decided what purpose the pavilions might serve in the future, with the conversion into art studios being a primary consideration. The Chinese pavilion will also be preserved at the site of Expo 2010.
Pavilions at world expos are usually installed only for the duration of the event, and are mostly dismantled and removed after it concludes.
The World Expo in Shanghai lasted six months and set a record with over 73 million visitors. The Czech pavilion also achieved success, attracting eight and a half million people, and the Paris-based International Exhibitions Bureau (BIE) awarded it a silver medal for creativity.
The Czech pavilion will also remain in China; it was purchased for more than 30 million crowns by the Czechoslovak-Chinese Friendship Farm. During the next year, a similar building to the one the Czech Republic had at the Shanghai Expo is set to be constructed in Hebei province, and the exhibition is expected to resume operations in 2012.
The next Expo 2015 will take place in Milan. Its theme will be "Feeding the Planet, Energy for Life". An invitation from the organizers is expected to arrive in Prague in January, after which the government will decide whether the country will participate in the next World Expo.
