| | | | | | One of the least known sightseeing attractions in Amsterdam is the garden by the Rijksmuseum. This attractive garden features beautifully cared for flowerbeds, fountains and summerhouses, but also a collection of sculp-tures.The 'ruins' in this garden are especially worth mentioning. A curious collection of building fragments from old-Holland was brought together at the end of the last century from all over the country. The result is a collection of five centuries of Dutch architecture - everything from Gothic pillars from Edam to 17th century city gates from cities such as Groningen and Deventer.Of special interest is the 'Fragments Building': a mishmash of pilasters, gables, lion masks and festoons from monuments, which were pulled down in the last century. Entrance to the garden is free from Tuesday-Saturday between 10 AM - 5 PM and Sundays and holidays between 1-5 PM. |
