On Sunday we went to one of my favourite museum in Amsterdam, FOAM museum, to see William Klein retrospective photo exhibition. Exhibition presented his abstract, documentary and fashion photographs. I must say that black and white fashion photos were the best, nothing can beat classical analog BW photography. After exhibition we grabed our bikes and cycled to Jordaan district to find one nice caffee house, but we weren´t able to find it so we ended up in Proust bar, which we also wanted to visit.
I could not miss a chance to visit Blue caffee house, which is cafe with the best view in Amsterdam. You can enjoy you coffee(or fresh mint tea) while watching whole Amsterdam from above.Next day was all about Art Deco, we went to beautiful Stadsarchief, which is Amsterdam City archive. This building was a bank in the past and now you can visit its beautiful art deco treasury, where you can learn little bit about Amsterdam history from city archive documents and good news is that the entrance is free. Visual identity was done by Amsterdam based design studio Thonik, which also did Amsterdam library visual identity or visual identity of Conservatorium van Amsterdam. Our next stop was Tuschinski theatre, famous movie theater where all festive premieres took place. This building which reminds me little bit of some scary horror house, that you would probably find in amusement park is few meters from Rembrandtplein and Flower Market.
That is all for today, now you can enjoy some photos I´ve took.
