Concurrently with American Photography, Carrie Mae Weems’s 2021 series Painting the Town will be on show in the Rijksmuseum’s photography gallery. At first glance Weems’ large and powerful works resemble abstract paintings. During the Black Lives Matter protests, campaigners wrote texts on the panels that shopkeepers had used to board up their windows as a precautionary measure. The authorities then rendered the slogans illegible by covering them with large patches of paint. The unintended result of this act of censorship was a series of painterly compositions. Weems uses her work to explore what it means to be a witness to history, through themes such as racism, sexism and discrimination.

幸福的一个小太阳

Tickets to the Van Gogh Museum have always been very popular, especially when the May Day holiday in China coincided with the long King&#39;s Day holiday in the Netherlands. I decisively booked tickets + audio guides on Ctrip half a month in advance. It was sunny all the time during this holiday, so beautiful! Walking and taking photos along the canal was so fun. When I arrived at the museum, I entered almost without queuing! I got the audio guide at the front desk, which has multiple languages, and I chose Chinese. I spent 3 hours to look at the exhibition carefully, and the cultural and creative products in the gift shop were also very attractive. A great value for money experience!

The canal water system in the Netherlands is very developed. Along the canal, you can learn about the sights and history of the Netherlands. Every location has headphones to introduce the attractions. There are Chinese options. The captain will add some additional knowledge. It is a great trip.

Buying tickets on the official website but the payment was unsuccessful, so it is really convenient to come to Trip.com and the price is almost the same as the official website. I have bought it many times in Trip.com Sometimes there are no times on the official website where I want to go. You can come to Trip.com to see it. Very good.
