Get scared in Amsterdam Dungeon

admin — Fri, 03 Feb 2012 12:44:46 +0000

We have just published our information page on the Amsterdam Dungeon. It is very interesting to know that there is such a thing as Amsterdam Dungeon, as many have heard of London Dungeon and think that there is nothing more to that story. But Merlin Entertainment running the London Dungeon also run similar dungeons in Hamburg, York, Edinburg and AMSTERDAM.

So if you have been to any of these and liked what you saw, then you better visit the Amsterdam Dungeon as well. If you have never visited such a thing, then the time has come!

Frozen for three centuries – Rijksmuseum

admin — Fri, 27 Jan 2012 10:26:17 +0000

Starting on 22 November, the Rijksmuseum will be exhibiting roughly 75 original objects from Nova Zembla. The objects were left on the island in 1597, after Willem Barentsz had overwintered there with his crew, and were found three centuries later. Weapons, goods, tools and personal belongings will be on display. The exhibition will also include new work by British artist Siân Bowen, who took inspiration from prints that were also found on Nova Zembla.

If this sounds like an interesting exhibition to you, visit the Rijksmuseum before March the 5th to check it out!

Van Gogh’s studio practice: Canvases re-used

Van Gogh Museum

Since June 10 2011 an exhibition named “Van Gogh’s studio practice: Canvases re-used” can be seen in the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam. This exhibition will be available for exactly a year, meaning it will be taken down on June 10th in 2012. In the exhibition you can learn more about Vincent van Gogh and his working methods. See how he re-used the canvases he had used before, and see the effect this had on his images.

This presentation examines these various working methods on the basis of paintings such as Nude girl, seated, Self-portrait with pipe, View from Theo’s apartment and Basket of pansies. When re-using certain canvases, Van Gogh applied a particular kind of covering layer that caused the condition of the painted scene on it to deteriorate over the years. Attention is also given to this aspect.
