The Tschumi Pavilion or Glass Video Gallery on the Hereplein in Groningen was designed by the French-Swiss architect Bernard Tschumi. It was built in 1990 as part of the What a Wonderful World event. Since 1995, various temporary multimedia projects by artists from the Netherlands and abroad have been shown every year. Due to the design of the pavilion, all projects are clearly visible to everyone who passes by or is waiting for the bus. Since December 2021, the Tschumi Pavilion has been managed by Kunstpunt.
A new art project in Tschumi from 19 August
This summer, the Tschumi Pavilion is returning to its roots! The tilted glass folly opened in 1990 as a video gallery, and it will soon be fulfilling that role once again: from 19 August, Antonia Rhenen, Serge Onnen, Robbie Cornelissen, Susanna Inglada and Fynn van der Ziel will be exhibiting their video art. What makes this even more special is that, as a one-off exception, you’ll be able to go inside the pavilion for the duration of the exhibition! More information to follow shortly.

"Architecture is as much about the event that takes place in a space as it is about the space itself." Bernard Tschumi
