Van Gogh Museum

M80***23
- The world's largest Van Gogh collection: located in Amsterdam, Netherlands, opened in 1973, with more than 200 Van Gogh oil paintings (accounting for his life), more than 500 sketches and 750 letters, including the peaks of Sunflower (1889 edition), Bedroom, Crow in the Rye, etc. Completely presents his transformation from early realism to late impressionism style. ​- Narrative exhibition design: sorting out Van Gogh's life according to the timeline, from the "Potato Eaters" in the Dutch countryside to the color transformation influenced by Impressionism in Paris, and then to the strong brush strokes in the Arles period, and finally ending with the manuscript of "Starry Night" in the San Remi Sanatorium. Combine the original letter with the original and the living supplies (such as the palette), restore the artist's spiritual world. Architecture and experience: dialogue between art and space - Modernist architectural landmarks: designed by architect Lille van de Houft, pure white geometric facade and glass atrium echo Van Gogh's paintings of light and shadow, spiral staircase and high-rise exhibition hall in the museum form a flowing viewing line, The top floor terrace overlooks the city view of Amsterdam, which is an extension of the art field itself. ​ - Technology empowers immersion experience: In addition to the regular exhibition, the museum has a multimedia interactive screen, which can enlarge the painting details and analyze the brush stroke technique; The night special exhibition "Van Gogh immersive light and shadow show" uses projection technology to project "Sunflower" and other works to the wall, with classical music, so that the audience "enter" the scene in the painting.

(Dear)阿燚
The biggest highlight of Kukenhof Park is its unparalleled floral landscape, especially the display of tulips, and its unique historical background and carefully designed landscape. Flower Landscape: - 7 million flowers have been planted in the park, of which tulips are the most dazzling star, with more than 1,000 varieties and 4.5 million plants. - Tulips are rich in colours, from bright red to soft pink to noble purple, forming a colorful sea of flowers. - There are other flowers in the park, such as Iris, Lilies, Narcissus, etc., which are against each other and form a colorful picture. Historical background: - Kukenhof Park dates back to the 15th century and was originally a hunting territory for the Earl of Jacoba van Beieren. - After many renovations and development, it gradually became the flower park today. - The park's name "Keukenhof" means "Kitchen Garden" in Dutch, reflecting its original purpose. Landscape design: - The park is dominated by English style, well designed and unique. - The winding forest paths, secluded pools and fountains complement the flower landscape.- The park features multiple theme gardens such as music parks, nature parks and historical parks, providing a diverse experience for visitors. With its rich floral resources, deep historical background and unique landscape design, Kukenhof Park has become one of the most popular flower parks in the world, attracting visitors from all over the world.

There were a lot of people queuing at the boarding point at the central station, and the cruise ship was basically full. Everyone was given a headset on board, which was plugged into the headphone jack next to them. They said there would be Chinese explanations, and there were indeed Chinese explanations, but they didn't say a word in total. The cruise ship was on the water for a full hour.

Rembrandt House Museum

Joe the world citizen
It is a nice small museum in the heart of Amsterdam, Holland. This museum tells the story of Rembrandt as an artist and how he trained his disciples. There are paintings from Rembrandt himself and from his disciples. It is worth to visit and it does not take a long time to go through the whole museum.
