I recently found myself in some corners of Schiphol airport that I had never seen before. Comfy nooks and unique spaces where some creative ideas have been put into action. And in the coming week I'll show you a few of those places and moments using video.

Today I wanted to start with a 1 minute glance of the Rijksmuseum Schiphol. Now plenty of people have heard about the big Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, one of the most important art museums in the country. But what you may not have realized is that somehow they built a little Rijksmuseum for Schiphol airport where travellers can take in some of the same beloved pieces one might also spot in the big museum. And of course, just like at the main museum, if you really like something you see on display, you can just walk downstairs to the giftshop and pick up a poster and get over to your gate in time for takeoff.

Interesting factoid that I learned while I was there: the box structure the museum is housed in, was specially built to be uneffected by the vibration of planes landing and taking off outside. In effect, it is almost like it is suspended in mid-air.

Here's that 1-minute glance of what I'm talking about.
