NY400 Week: Unveiling of the New Amsterdam Pavilion September 9, 2009

The New Amsterdam Plein and Pavilion is the gift of the Netherlands to New York in honor of 400 years of friendship. The Pavilion and street furniture for the surrounding plaza are designed by Dutch architect Ben van Berkel of UNStudio. It will serve as an attractive gathering place for New Yorkers, commuters and tourists, as well as a tribute to our common history and shared values. The Pavilion is situated on Peter Minuit Plaza at the Battery, one of New York’s main intersections, with 75,000 people passing through each day.
