• Bohemian Ifs and Classical Butts at the Hermitage

  

  I had mentioned in my previous post of how we had spent a day at the Hermitage Museum and I wanted to share the pictures with you. It was a day of contrasts: the classical beauties in the museum alongside the rusted beauties on the canals. Each unique in their own way. I was hesitant to…

• Cherry Blossoms in Amsterdamse Bos

  

  Bambi (resident 10yo) and I put on our walking shoes, strapped on our backpacks, grabbed our picnic lunch, and headed off to see the Cherry Blossoms at the Kersenbloesempark located in the forest or the Amsterdamse Bos. The trek from Amsterdam, via Metro and two bus changes, to the Amstelveen side of the Bos was confusing…

• Art when Dark: Museum Night 2017

  

  Is it art viewing? Is it a nightclub? Should we dance? Let’s grab a drink! Wanna hang out? Oh look, that’s a Rothko!  This year the Museum Night in Amsterdam was outstanding.
