Zwartwit foto van de voormalige Amerikaanse Ambassade in Den Haag

The former US embassy was designed by renowned Bauhaus architect Marcel Breuer and completed in 1959. The consistently trapezoidal windows give the building an iconic appearance. The national monument has unique architectural and content significance. With its auditorium, library and special window/facade construction, the building is as special as the MET-Breuer museum in New York.

‘Form follows function, but not always’
Marcel Breuer
