If you think you missed the Rietveld Universum exhibit at the Centraal Museum in Utrecht, think again. The exhibit has been extended and runs through this Sunday, 13 February. The exhibit, part of the official Rietveld Year, is a fantastic look at the famous Utrechter's architectural and design work. As the interest in "retro" grows, many people are rediscovering the work that Gerrit Rietveld did, not just in famous houses, but in stylish (if not always comfortable) chairs and lamps and more.

The exhibit helps put his work in context of both time period and in relation to the work of other architects and designers of the time. Comparative pieces from Mies van der Rohe, Le Corbusier, and others are set up next to Rietveld's works. You can also get a bit interactive, with special audio pods (in English or Dutch) that are set up in various spots of the exhibit to give you more information about individual pieces, told in Rietveld's own words. And, of course, you can see plenty of examples of "that one chair", the famous red and blue chair. There's a wall of variations on the chair, as interpreted by others, including a fantastic Lego version.

The exhibit, along with the rest of the museum, is open Tuesday through Sunday, from 11:00 to 17:00. Tickets are €9, although admission is free if you have a museumkaart, or €4 with certain student passes and cultuurkaart. More information about the museum and the exhibit can be found (in English) at the museum's website.
