On the south side of the Lagoon of Nations, Lithuania's Exhibit presented an intimate glimpse into her life and history.

The first floor walls are adorned with historic murals; and the statue of the national hero, Grand Duke Vytauras (1392-1430), stands adjacent to a map which showed Lithuania's borders as they were during his reign.

Exhibits throughout the Pavilion were devoted to education, and literature, music and the theatre, folk-art, sport and tourism. Samples of Lithuanian ceramics were displayed. A major feature in the portrayal - by thirty statuettes dressed in national costume - of a Lithuanian wedding in an authentic village setting.

The second floor was devoted to Lithuanian agriculture, trade, and commerce.
