The Netherlands’ Ambassador’s residence in Ljubljana is well positioned to host such an exhibition, being an outstanding example of contemporary Slovene architecture, designed by architects Matija Bevk, Vasa Perović and Blaž Kandus. It is a modern residence, one of a series of buildings purposely built for the Dutch Foreign Ministry. Combination of natural materials, shifting panels and lots of glass give the residence a flexible and transparent living environment.
