Elena Salgado, Second Deputy Prime Minister of Spain, speaks during a donation ceremony in the Spain Pavilion in the World Expo Park in Shanghai, China, 25 October 2010. The Spain Pavilion at the Shanghai World Expo 2010 on Monday (25 October 2010) donated its star exhibit, animated giant baby Miguelin, to a permanent World Expo museum to be constructed in Shanghai. The 6.5-meter-tall Miguelin is the first exhibit donated by a participating country or organization, according to organizers. Elena Salgado, Second Deputy Prime Minister of Spain, said she hoped Miguelin would help commemorate the friendship between Spanish and Chinese peoples. He is a child of Spain, and he will become a citizen of Shanghai, said Salgado, adding she believed Miguelin would live a happy life in the city. A permanent museum, the Expo 2010 Musuem, is to be constructed after the event wraps up on October 31. Covering more than 20, 000 square meters, it is expected to be located on the Puxi side of the Expo Park. More than 200 participating countries and international organizations have expressed a willingness to donate exhibits to the museum.
