On April 19, 2007 the Nederlands Fotomuseum is opening its doors in the completely refurbished Las Palmas building on the Wilhelmina Pier in Rotterdam. The original building was built back in the 50’s to accommodate workshops and warehousing for the Holland-America Line, but now Benthem Crouwel Architects has turned it into a cultural cluster. This multifunctional building will also house the BeeldFabriek (Image Factory) media school and LP2 Center for Urban Culture who both focus on young talent and grassroots initiatives. Transitions between all spaces will be fluid and those taking courses at the BeeldFabriek will also use the museum’s library and its exhibitions supposedly will inspire participants in the workshops at LP2.
