2018 Culture Pavilion Feature:  German Inventions and Inventors

Imagine the world without beer – one of the many great German inventions! It was also Germans behind the discovery of the science of Radiology and the Theory of Relativity. The computer, television, automobile and MP3-format originated in Germany as well. You’ll be surprised to learn how very German the most trivial things in your daily life are.

Check back soon to see what the 2019 Culture Pavilion theme will be!
