The Land of the Dutch.

Recently, i spent three days in Amsterdam, and fell in love with the city. However, I felt as though three days and two nights wasn't enough time to be able to experience the cultural side of Amsterdam as well as the night life.
Whilst there I went to the Rijksmuseuem and the Van Gogh museum. Neither of these museums really appealed to me, although I can appreciate the time, effort and detail put into each painting. But I prefer art with a meaning or concept behind it, the kind of work I can relate to or a controversial piece. I think there's something a little bit more brave or interesting in putting your opinion out there for everyone to see.
I did find a piece of work that was really interesting in the Rijksmuseum. It was a living clock. I know that sounds crazy but I think the way the artist did it was record himself over a twelve hour period changing the time on a board with a marker. There was something about this that was simple, but amazing.

I didn't find the Van Gogh museum very intresting. I actually think he's a little bit over rated.  I think there were other artists during his era that were just as good, maybe even better. I think the only reason he was so famous is because he was a little bit crazy and killed himself. I also though the building for the Van Gogh museum wasn't that spectacular in comparison to the Rijksmuseum.
