On a beautiful sunny Saturday in September 2019 my bestie and I were culturally roaming around in our hometown cityheart and discovered this amazing, magical Artworld: the Tim Cantor Gallery that lits up the streets... One step entering into this Art Pearl all my senses were tickled: seeing ‘art stories’, hearing John Maxtone-Graham’s voice reciting lyrics of an intriguing poem, beautiful music playing...I felt as being part of this scenery! It was a total art living experience. We bombed into this ‘hidden’ treasure as ‘a must be’: also kindly received by The Charismatic Mister Hollis Cash, who gave us an inspiring talk about the background and inspiration of the artist and his Creations... I keep on coming back to this beautiful Art Escape that keeps on sparkling my Soul... I even briefly met the artist himself together with his lovely wife, Amy: what a great honor...! ‘Forever treasured in my heart..’./ ‘Affinité’! The presse-papier ‘the Hollows’ is a forever touchable pearl at my home now... Ankie

The Jewish Historical Museum is a modern museum of Jewish heritage housed in four monumental synagogues near Waterlooplein in the heart of Amsterdam. Three permanent exhibitions present the history and culture of the Jewish people in the Netherlands. In addition to the three permanent exhibitions, the museum always offers two great temporary exhibitions and the fun JHM Children's museum.

The Jewish Historical Museum has a main focus on Jewish history, religion and culture which is located in the Jewish Quarter. Throughout the museum there are a range of different objects relating to Jewish life - some being interactive such as being to click on an object through a screen to find out more information regarding it to objects that can be used in the home but also serve a religious purpose. There's a clear contrast as to how religion has changed but in many ways stayed the same. The next floor focuses on the links with Israel, which is mainly seen through the use of an audio guide (which is free as it comes included with the ticket). The next floor represents the history of Jews moving to Amsterdam and the effect that this had on their life throughout the ages - since they had fled from their homes due to anti-Jewish actions and persecutions (during the Middle Ages). The next part of the museum focuses on the history of the Jews from the 1900's to present day, much of which includes information in the form of interviews, films, photos and interviews to see life for Dutch Jews during the Second World War. This museum takes about an hour at least to get through with each object containing detailed information as well as the audio guide serving as a personal guide for when walking around the museum. The museum also features a Children's Museum in which contains a study room in which is used to show visually the different forms of Jewish life such as a Torah as well as a board with letters from a Hebrew book. If you have a big rucksack or a handbag you won't be allowed to bring this in - there are lockers available - but like anything is, this is at your own risk.
