Blog watching: History, Art Deco and other hidden treasures to discover at the City Archives
Dutch NewsAmsterdive is a personal blog where Ana V. Martins writes about all things Amsterdam, art and culture, and her experiences as a local / foreigner. Getting to the City Archives by bike means cycling from the west side of town along the canal belt, which is in itself an experience, no matter how often you move past those mansions, pavement gardens, and street-level bridges. The dark side of Dutch trading is currently depicted in the hallway inside, in Amsterdammers and Slavery, a series of stories on the city’s slavery heritage. Downstairs, you’ll see a sort of antechamber that offers a peek of the archives on the one side, and on the other, the entrance to a vault room in Art Nouveau, with high ceilings, geometric motives, and enormous chandeliers. History, Art Nouveau & other hidden treasures to discover at the City Archives was originally posted on Amsterdive.
