A city and its port: forever linked
National Maritime Museum, Amsterdam (NL)
The city of Amsterdam and its harbour can't do without each other. And they've been getting in each other's way for centuries.
A love-hate relationship
With OPERA Amsterdam, we created a new permanent exhibition for the Dutch National Maritime Museum. It showcases the age-old love-hate relationship between Amsterdam and its port. It’s a tale of giving and taking, attraction and repulsion, as in a marriage. The city and its harbour can’t live without each other. They love each other and they drive each other crazy.
“The port authority and the museum want to show people that the port and the city have been getting in each other's way for centuries.”
