A lovely city I wish Peter the Great had never visited...

A couple of weeks ago I was in Amsterdam for a long work-related weekend, rushing from museum to museum as usual: Rembradthuis, Stedelijk MuseumMuseum of Bags and Purses, Museum Willet-Holthuysen, Rijksmuseum, Van Gogh Museum, Amsterdam Museum, ... I also had to miss some museums I would have wanted to see.

The only exceptions to museums in the programme were a late evening canal cruise and a concert with Murray Perahia and Academy of St. Martin in the Fields in  the Concertgebouw.
