Quiz: Name the building

Post by Pine »

Question: What is the significance of the building in this painting, which has a Beetle in the foreground?

Clue: it is in South Africa, and the building was quite controversial in the media in recent times :wink:

That is correct :wink:

The Reitz Hostel on the campus of the University of the Free State has been a home to thousands of students over the years. This painting is in the office of a doctor in Heidelberg, who was living there while he was studying.
