One year in The Netherlands

So,
last year I moved to The Netherlands, a country rich in historic and contemporary art.
We have been so many places to see different kind of arts, and for each museum and gallery I have bought a couple of postcards that I have put in a small album.
Here is the list of places Pol and I have visited during this last year:

- Het Scheepvaartmuseum;The Maritime Museum in Amsterdam which has an extensive collection of paintings and drawings describing Hollands past and present maritime life.

-Hermitage Amsterdam, the exhibition "Rubens, Van Dyck & Jordaens".

-  The Rembrandt House, Amsterdam, where Rembrandt lived and had his galleries.

- The Escher Muesum in Den Haag, http://www.escherinhetpaleis.nl/

- Optical Illusions, which was a exhibition on the top floor of the bookstore Selexyz in Amsterdam.

-Frans Hals Museum in Haarlem, http://www.franshalsmuseum.nl/

-Kröller-Müller Museum in Hoge Veluwe National Park, http://www.kmm.nl/

We also went on holiday to Spain and went to the art museum in Sevilla; "Museo de Bellas Artes de Sevilla", with a lot of typical catholic art of saints and stories from the Bible, but also from city life, like the bullfighting and portaits of rich and famous Sevillians.
