A bridge leads across a stream to the pavilion's three round buildings. Two small thatch-roofed structures set in a tropical landscape contain industrial exhibits, a shop selling souvenirs and a tourism center. The round main building, with curving glass walls inside a steel grid, houses handicrafts, a travel display and a restaurant in which members of Guinea's famed ballet troupe perform.* Admission: 25 cents.
- AFRICAN HANDICRAFTS. The exhibit area in the main building displays carvings of wood and ivory, silver and bead jewelry, ceramics and cloth with bold print designs. Similar items are also sold in a shop in the same area.
- AFRICAN DANCERS. Members of Les Ballets Africains, which made its American debut in 1959, present graceful interpretations of Guinean dances. They appear regularly on the restaurant stage.
- RESTAURANT. This eating place seats about 130, and specializes in traditional rice and meat dishes.
