A Glimpse of ‘Venice of the North’
The exhibition is designed in a way that it creates a real-time experience and transports you to different eras of the city.
It begins with Dam Square, the magical place where De Nieuwe Kerk is located. Further ahead are places from the past such as the Zeedijk, the Vondelpark and the Eastern Ports, each of which are synonymous with their respective fashion themes. It’s a wondrous opportunity to visit historic department stores, fashion shows and festivals that allow you to dig deeper and help with fashion curiosities. Some of the events under this category were the Hartjesdagen and Keti Koti. Quite suddenly, you blend into the nightlife of the roaring twenties and the heyday of the famous ’80s and ‘90s nightclubs RoXY and iT. What a time to be alive!
