[Leica] A Barcelona's exhibition of Cuban photographers

[Nathan Wajsman]

Looks like an interesting place indeed.

The Netherlands is another country where it is common to re-purpose old buildings, for example churches in an increasingly secular society (the World Press Photo exhibition is usually held in the Oude Kerk (“old church”) in Amsterdam. There is also a great bookstore in Maastricht, located in what used to be a church.

In France lots of public buildings used to be churches or monasteries, for example the prefecture in Le Mans which I visited last week. It was a monastery which was dissolved by the state after the French Revolution, as were all religious orders. The building then became property of the state and has been the prefecture of the Sarthe region since 1806.

Cheers,
Nathan

I understand that it is a new way to give life to a disappeared culture and I believe that it is difficult, impossible or useless to restore.
