Amsterdam Museums: Havin' a great time in Electric Ladyland!

Fri, 3 Oct 2003 20:12:05 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author cr01 - 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...

Amsterdam Museums: Torture Me, Please

Thu, 8 Feb 2001 08:40:42 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author quasar - 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...

Amsterdam Museums: Rijksmuseum's Night Watch

Wed, 13 Dec 2000 13:23:10 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Kallisti - 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...

Amsterdam Museums: The Tropenmuseum

Tue, 12 Dec 2000 20:28:06 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Kallisti - 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).

Amsterdam Museums: Rijksmuseum NOT overrated!

Tue, 5 Dec 2000 19:29:49 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author klzabawa - 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...

Amsterdam Museums: Why Vincent? Why?

Wed, 29 Nov 2000 16:04:33 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author pques - 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...

Amsterdam Museums: The disappointing Anne Frank House

Mon, 27 Nov 2000 12:19:37 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author pques - 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...

Amsterdam Museums: the Anne Frank museum

Sun, 9 Jul 2000 13:17:56 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author robbudo - 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...

Amsterdam Museums: To See, or Not to see...Van Gogh Museum?

Wed, 10 May 2000 18:43:16 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author sambuca - 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...

Amsterdam Museums: On your mark, get set, Gogh

Wed, 15 Mar 2000 05:30:34 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ceclay - 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...
