It was museum day today! Aka Andreas ultimate favorite kind of day ;)
We heard that the Anne Frank museum is always insanely busy, so in attempt to be somewhat prepared we went online to buy to tickets. To our surprise we saw that they were bought out till July. Even arriving half an hour before it opened we had to wait for an hour, and the line wrapped all around the church.
In my opinion the museum was well done. Although the rooms were empty depictions, models and photos allowed me to imagine what it would have been like. I enjoyed the message the museum had at the end the exhibition, to remember that there are thousands of Anne Franks stories that go untold.
We then had a quick bite to eat and headed off to the Rijksmuseum. It had collections all the way from the 1100’s! We thought that 3 hours would suffice to see everything but since university taught us well we spent the majority of the time reading plaques. We were given a 30 minute warning and realized that we had 2 more floors to cover! The last floor of the special collections turned out to be our favorite, so Im glad we got to see it even for a little bit!
The sun was shinning when we left so we grabbed some waffles and sat in a beautiful courtyard with tulips and fountains to soak up a the sunshine.
