Pros: A wonderfully technical but amateur exploration of fluorescence! Cons: Access.
It is fair to say that Amsterdam has its full share of fine museums to explore – the Van Gogh and the sex museum even included. Ever one to champion the obscure; for me perhaps one of the most endearing museums within Amsterdam is the tiny ...
Pros: The most comprehensive collection pertaining to the Netherlands' art and history. Cons: Massive renovations under way until 2012-13. Only the Philips Wing is open, showcasing_17th Century "Masterpieces."
When visiting Amsterdam, one of Europe's most exciting cities, the options are boundless for the first-time or return visitor. To begin with, there are almost as many canals as the city of Venice, and it's impossible to see them ...
Pros: unique glimpse into a not-so-pleasant aspect of our past Cons: dimly lit, hard to see some items in glass cases, not enough information provided
I just returned from a week long stay in Amsterdam, the museum city. Being the dedicated museum freak I am, I stuffed in as many museums as I could in the two days I had completely on my own (I went to a Palm Conference the first three days and spent the...
Pros: Rembrandt, Vermeer, Hals.... Cons: renovations (as much as they are needed)
The Rijksmuseum is something of a mecca for fans of the gret Dutch painters, particularly of Rembrandt van Rijn and Vermeer of Delft. No history of art is complete without a plethora of reproductions of the paintings that grace the...
Pros: Interesting, interactive and educational Cons: An often overlooked attraction
The museum-going highlight of my trip to Amsterdam surprisingly turned out to be the Tropenmuseum (also hailed by ptieman in one of his Amsterdam travelogues).
The Tropenmuseum (Tropical Museum)is located in the east side...
Pros: A tasteful, beautiful exhibition of Vincent's work Cons: Hard to truly appreciate with huge crowds
This is the question I asked myself as I stood in front of his painting "Wheat Field With Crows" at "his" museum in Amsterdam. The painting was done during Vincent's (I use his first name only since that is how he signed his work and...
Pros: Beautiful art, sculpture and architecture Cons: Very busy on school days
This is a fabulous museum. Not only are there famous works of art at every turn, the architecture is astounding. You will be able to spend hours examining the ancient Asian artifacts, or the awe-inspiring "Night Watch" by Rembrandt (which is...
Pros: history, educational, emotional Cons: i imagine it would be too crowded mid-day on a summer weekend
Probably the saddest part of my vacation in Europe, The Anne Frank house is set up so you walk though the house, as the sad story is unfolded before you. Everyone should goto this house. After you finish the tour (which costs 10 US dollars), you will...
I don't know. I went to the Anne Frank house because I really wanted to feel something. I wanted to really feel for Miss Frank and all that her family went through. But I didn't.
When I first got to the house/museum I got this feeling that...
Sigh… I was carrying a copy of WAYS OF SEEING as I made my way through Europe in the summer of 1998. I was to write a paper on some aspect of art history but that was soon forgotten at the utter amazement of just watching the real paintings in front of...
I recently travelled to Amsterdam in April and was looking forward to visiting the Van Gogh museum. Although in no way do I consider myself an art fanatic, I am the type of person who enjoys and attempts to appreciate art. I've seen many of Van Gogh's...
The Temple of Venus: The Sex Museum, Amsterdam First put on display together in 1985 by Monique van Made and her father, this collection of erotic works is exceptional for the quality of the object...
