Really fascinating, so much industry and growth in a hundred years.
ReplyDeleteWhat a clever video presentation. Thanks Rob that was good!
ReplyDeleteThis was quite interesting, and the music was fabulous too!
ReplyDeleteEnjoyed the video and the map, the 17th century was a time of great expansion. They had a display called "Amsterdam DNA" at the historical museum which was a bit cryptic.
ReplyDeleteToday all exhibitions have to be 'experiences' created by marketing experts and suitable for the youth. Sometimes I prefer old fashioned dusty museums though.
