As part of the new exhibition entitled "What is the Netherlands", opening on April 26th at Het Nieuwe Instituut in Rotterdam, MVRDV's World Expo Pavilion of 2000 in Hannover will be presented, along with thirteen other Dutch pavilions of World Expos so far.

"In the context of the 34th World Expo opening in Milan this spring, Het Nieuwe Instituut addresses this phenomenon from different perspectives, between April 26th and August 23rd, in three exhibitions: What is the Netherlands, GLASS and Garden of Machines. The recurring question in the programme is: under what conditions is innovation achieved, and what role do designers play within that process?" more on: http://worldexpo.hetnieuweinstituut.nl/en
