Last Tuesday, we came back from the Netherlands. On the first day, we went to the Hague. We went to the Mauritshuis and Madurodam. The Mauritshaus has many paintings, including several Rembrandts and three Vermeers. Two of their most famous paintings are Girl with the Pearl Earring by Vermeer and The Anatomy Lesson of Dr Nicolaes Tulp by Rembrandt. Their website is here.
Madurodam has models of famous buildings in Holland. As well as famous buildings, they also have a model highway with moving cars, an airport complete with moving planes and a monorail, trains on a miniature railway stopping at various stations, the Rotterdam seagate, ships of many different sizes, and an oil rig. My favorite part of Madurodam is a tanker that has a controlled fire and a fireboat "puts it out".
Notes from our travels on our "Family Sabbatical", brought to you by the letter "S": Seattle, Singapore, and Switzerland.
