Ship decorations. There were also some…bawdier ones.

We continue at the Maritime Museum (Het Scheepvaartmuseum), finishing up on the Amsterdam and then heading inside. This set will be a little shorter than usual, so I can take advantage of the new limit of 10 to keep the various exhibits together.

Everybody, please send in your holiday photos! I have one set from Albatrossity for Monday, but we typically do the holiday pics for the 2 weeks before Christmas, so there are 9 more slots to fill. If you have just one or two holiday photos, you can either submit them as an OTR post, or you can send email attachments with an email message. Otherwise submitting the photos using the form is the way to go.
Asking for holiday pics from when you were little, or holiday lights and decorations from he past or the current day!
When I were little, we used to go to downtown Chicago to see all the stores and the city decorations. It was magical.
The next three sets are all from the Maritime Museum (Scheepvaartmuseum), perhaps my favorite in Amsterdam. This set covers my arrival and the first part of the photos from the replica of the Amsterdam.

This round of photos are mostly from the Dutch Masters collection at the Rijksmuseum, the first of several I visited this trip.
This is a detail from Jan Steen’s 1668 painting ‘The Merry Family’. Apparently, it was meant as some sort of warning against this behavior, but they did look like they were having a lot of fun.

A few weeks ago I left New York State for the first time since before the pandemic. I chose to go to Amsterdam for a long week (leave Friday on the redeye, arrive Saturday, depart the following Sunday) ,it’s my favorite city to visit. There are a number of reasons for this: I love the city’s vibe and rhythm, there’s lots of good culture and sights and suchlike to choose from, and I have numerous relatives there (I saw a Tante [aunt], Uncle [The Oom of his name in our family was larger than life both physically and character-wise, so…], and seven cousins of assorted flavor. This first set of 8 covers my first few days.
We start with the Tilted House, which has been there every time I’ve been in Amsterdam. It’s located near Waterlooplein and the Stopera, and houses a cafe.
