"A few weeks ago I visited the municipal Dordrecht archives, which houses the city records, the town's archeological finds and the local museum's possessions.

A brand new bulding in the middle of nowhere (some industrial site) but extremely well protected and functional.

From a distance the building looks like a giant shoebox but once you get closer you discover a certain elegance and beauty in its stark lines. No wonder I took some pictures again..."
