Amsterdam Cartoonz Part 2

in #art5 years ago

In my opinion the Amsterdam museums are much more interesting than the ladies of pleasure or the pleasurable herbs. At the museum square you find the Van Gogh museum and the Rijksmuseum.

The Van Gogh museum houses the world's largest collection of Vincent van Gogh paintings.

A funny fact about the Van Gogh museum is that has been the decor of the worlds silliest art theft. In 1991 thieves stole 20 paintings from the museum, one of them being the famous painting "The Potato Eaters". The thieves managed to escape with the paintings but left them visible in an abandoned car, where they were recovered after 35 minutes. When the thieves came back later to pick up their trophies, the police was waiting for them and they were arrested.

One of the other famous museums on the museum square is the Rijksmuseum.
This gorgeous building was designed by Pierre Cuypers and houses the largest public art history library and reaearch facility in The Netherlands.
