A great way to meet the countries that have recently joined the European Union! For all of you who don't know which countries we are talking about: Bulgaria, Malta, Czech Republic, Latvia, Cyprus, Slovenia, Romania, Poland, Lithuania, Slovakia, Estonia and Hungary.
If you are still confused: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Union ;-)

Anyway: 12 photographers each visited one of these countries and tried to grasp in images what they thought was the identity of that country. It's very nice to see all the pictures from all these different places which are very alike or very unlike our own European country.
I think that all the photographers succeeded very well in capturing at least part of the countries essence. The results are very enjoyable anyway!

The exhibit still runs un till the first of July. With the ticket for this exhibit you can of-course visit the rest of the museum too!

The picture is from Slovenia and was taken by Martin Parr.
