Forest of Civilizations
An ancient forest installation featuring world unique 6,500-year-old subfossil oak trees, with each tree dedicated to one participating nation of the Expo 2025.

As a first-hand witnesses to the time of the formation of the first civilizations, they narrate – year by year – the story of the development of our planet, and along with it the story of the humankind.
