In the backyard of the “Amsterdam Museum” (formerly known as “Hermitage”) you can find some ‘metal beasts’, made by artist “Junk-Art”. 🐀 ⚙️⛓️

The sculptures are handmade, sustainable, and the material they use is steel. It’s including sources such as bolts, gears, all sorts of motor parts, horseshoes and metal scraps. ♻️

An almost perfect looking marble angel… 🪽

In 2018, the “Hermitage Amsterdam” hosted ‘Classic Beauties’, an exhibition on neoclassicism. Featuring over 60 works by 25 leading artists, it explored the influence of antiquity on 18th-century art. 😍

Until 2022 it hosted exhibitions featuring art from the “Hermitage” in Saint Petersburg but eventually, the ties with Russia were severed, due to the Russian aggression in Ukraine. By fall 2023, the museum was renamed to “H’ART Museum” ♥️ 🇺🇦 🕊️

“I don’t wa$te my time” is an artwork by Dutch artist Selwyn Senatori. Presented to the public in January 2022, this oversized pedal bin symbolizes the idea that time is our ultimate luxury. ⏳💸

It stands, inconspicuous and dented, on a concrete pedestal at Rokin. 👀 🗑️

The piece was part of the “Out of Office Forever” project, which reimagined office life during COVID-19, including oversized office items like giant coffee mugs, displayed in spring 2021. ☣️🦠😷 ☕☕

The statue of Mahatma Gandhi on Churchill-laan was created by sculptor Karel Gomes and placed in 1️⃣9️⃣9️⃣0️⃣.

Its location is symbolic, as Churchill and Gandhi were political opponents. Churchill once called Gandhi a ‘half-naked fakir’ but later sent his condolences after Gandhi crossed over to the other side. 👼

The statue shows a humble Gandhi,walking in a dhoti and sandals, holding a staff and a book. A colorful stone pattern leading to the statue symbolizes the unity of opposites he sought during his life. ☮️✝️✡️☪️🕉️☸️💟🤟

“Sint Michaël” posing as a sandstone sculpture in memory of the former “Clarissen Klooster” (Clarissen monastery). 😇 👼

The monastery stood at the place that’s nowadays known as ‘Kloosterstraat’. It held ground from 1926 and was demolished in 1968 due to construction of highway A10 (better known as ‘Ring A10’).
🚧 👷🏼‍♂️🚚🛻🚙🚛

The statue (from an unknown artist) was placed above the entrance of the monastery on May 5, 1946, because Duivendrecht was spared during the war. 🙏🕯️
