"The Little Mermaid" is expected to come to Shanghai World Expo

In the afternoon of September 10, the Crown Prince of Denmark released to the Danish media in Copenhagen the winning design plan of 2010 Shanghai World Expo Denmark Pavilion. At the same time, Mr. Carsten Boyer Thoegersen, Consul-General of the Kingdom of Denmark in Shanghai held a press conference in his official residence. The exhibition theme of Denmark Pavilion will be "happy life, fairytale park".

Mr. Thoegersen said that this wining design team hopes to bring Denmark's most representative "The Little Mermaid" sculpture from Copenhagen seaside to Shanghai World Expo. The sculpture will be placed in the center of the pool which represents Denmark harbor in Denmark Pavilion. During six months of "The Little Mermaid's" visit to the Shanghai World Expo, sculptures by famous modern Chinese artists will be placed in her home. If the idea wins the support of Copenhagen city government, this will be the first time for "The Little Mermaid" "to travel abroad " in 95 years since her birth.

Denmark Pavilion constitutes two circular orbits, forming indoor and outdoor sections connected by a platform. Visitors to Denmark Pavilion will have the opportunity to personal experience Denmark city life.
