NETHERLANDS ARCHITECTURE INSTITUTE CLOSES DOORS TEMPORARILY
It's been almost twenty years since the NAI opened its doors at the Rotterdam Museumpark. Since then, hundreds of thousands of people have entered the remarkable building by architect Jo Coenen via the walking bridge. Because of a planned renovation, this entrance will cease to exist. The NAI building will be closed off almost totally from May until December 2010; don't miss your chance to visit the old style NAI for free during the 'last chance' weekend!
