The Canal House is a beautiful museum on the Golden Bend of the Herengracht in the main Amsterdam canal ring.
It promises you “400 years of canal history in 40 minutes”. And it delivers! Would you like to know more?
Houseboat Museum
I have been meaning to go to the Houseboat Museum since I frist discovered there was one! Houseboats are so prevalent in Amsterdam and all over the Netherlands, that it’s a little hard to not wonder what they look like on the inside.
All things considered, I’ve lived in smaller apartments. Would you like to know more?
Fellini Exhibition
It was the last week of the Fellini Exhibition which was on as a part of the Eye program for September. Himself and I had been talking about going to this since we saw the very first posters, and we knew that if we didn’t act fast we would run out of time.
It was a wonderful exhibition of Fellini’s life work. Not set out chronologically, but within the themes and obsessions that ran through his life, his childhood, and the films he made. Would you like to know more?
Escher Exhibit
There is an amazing exhibit titled “Escher Meets Islamic Art” currently on at the Tropenmuseum. We ventured off on the weekend for an insight into the inspiration for one of our favourite artists; M. C. Escher.
Escher was born in Friesland, but it was on his travels through Spain where he fell in love with the Moorish influences in the architecture. Would you like to know more?
Utrecht – Part 2
We had a purpose to our trip to Utrecht. Though I’m sure often it must seem that we just randomly go places and see what will happen when we get there (and sometimes this is exactly what we do), I also wanted to be able to achieve my purpose today. So I was on a mission to go to the Nijntje Museum.
Nijntje (or Miffy as most of the rest of the world knows her) is the brain child of one Dick Bruna, and as part of the Centraal Museum, you can visit his house and see how his design process works! Would you like to know more?
