Visiting Amsterdam, I feel like I’m immersed in culture. Yeah of course Dutch culture, but I’m talking about high culture. There are so many museums–54 and counting–that the old adage “something for everyone” seems to be true. My personal favorite is The Stedelijk CS. Here’s the deal: The Stedelijk Museum, one of the world’s best for modern art, is closed for renovations, but in its place, they’ve opened up a temporary venue that’s totally worth a visit. Right now they have an exhibition called Airworld that looks at the history of air travel from a design point of view and I have to say it’s one of the cooler exhibitions I’ve ever seen. Multimedia, classic posters, some models, furniture; you name it. Cooler yet, much of the exhibition includes a Dutch tie-in making Airworld come off as hip AND local. Of course there are other exhibitions at the Stedelijk and I’d love to tell you about them but I spent all of my time at Airworld. I’ll have to go back next week and check them out.
