Off to sunny Amsterdam for a weekend.
What would one go and look at in the way of woodwork/furniture? Particularly yer old traditional peasant stuff if poss. I know there is a tradition for painted things - can one see them in Amsterdam?
cheers

museums are good and worth checking out anne frank's house but there was a good market in one of the main squares, which used to be a good source for older quite cheap tools. paul  |

museums are good and worth checking out anne frank's house I was a little disappointed with Anne Frank's house. That said, I'm glad I went and I would recommend it as it gives some sense of context to the book. tnimble would probably be a good person to answer, but he doesn't seem to have posted here since early May.
