So there we were, just wandering by the Oude Kerk.
“Hey, there’s another old church — wanna take a look?”
“Sure, why not!”
And wouldn’t you know it? An art installation had taken over…
Nicolaaskerk
Amsterdam Museums
Come for the museums. Stay for the art.
(And it’s some of the best in the world.)
Secret Church
Ons’ Lieve Heer op Solder is a Catholic Church was built on the top three floors of a canal house during the 1660s. At that time, it was prohibited to celebrate mass, so churches like this had to remain a secret.
To do this, they cut a large hole in the top three floors and supported the gap with iron bars.
While a bit strange, the invention and beauty found in the details are quite astounding.
Creepy Children (of the Dutch Masters)
Kids & babies. All painted as tiny adults. All harboring mysterious, hidden agendas.
Enjoy at your own risk…
