If you stand against the wall in the lowest room, with your face against the wall, and someone else does too on the opposite side, then you can whisper against the wall and the other person can hear it.
It also gives a great effect if you sing in the middle. Because the other rooms on top will reflect your voice and it sounds as if you are singing quatro voce on your own! Leave a Comment

In the Bonnefanten Museum you can find art of old masters, but also contemporary art. The museum is designed by the Italian architect Aldo Rossi. The imposing cupola dome of the museum lies at the side of the river Maas and became one of Maastricht's major landmarks. From the entrance at the other side the symmetrical building has the appearance of an Egyptian temple.
The contemporary art collection of the museum at the second floor contains works by an international group of artists. The collection also includes projections, large ensembles and room-size installations. Prominent artists of American minimal art and Italian Arte Povera form the basis of the collection.
The collection of old masters emphasises 16th and 17th century Flemish painting, including major works by Rubens, Van Dyck and Jordaens. There are also medieval sculptures, early Italian painting and Maastricht silver.
Near the entrance at the groundlevel is a museumshop which you can visit without an entrance ticket. At my first visit I bought a lot of books, at my second visit I came to look at a special collection of bags. The museum has a nice grand café with terraces looking out at the River Maas.
Opening times:
Tuesday to Sunday from 11.00 am to 5.00 pm.
When you are early like we, the grand café and terrace is open from 10am

Actually, I would like to own such a replica. In the front you can see several round rooms on top of each other. There is a special sound effect to these rooms. Leave a Comment

I have completely forgotten the name of this American (or Canadian?) painter. Can anyone help? I liked it. His theme was that concrete and buildings destroy nature but in his paintings you see the trees taking over. Leave a Comment

In the tower of the museum was this exposition about modern life and the toll it takes on people. It was very humouristic!
Here a bed with bottles of alcohol hanging above it, like in a bar. Leave a Comment

If you're not interested in actually visiting the museum, the building alone is worth a detour. The museum is located in the modern area of Maastricht, Centre Ceramique, and this really comes through in the design. The building was designed in 1995 by the Italian architect Aldo Rossi. He created an E shaped building. But the main feauture of the museum is the 28 meters high tower. Because of it's round shapes and use of steal, it looks like a rocket.

Visit the 'Bonnefanten-museum'.
The building itself is worth a visit. The exposition is frequently changed. They often show modern art.
From www.bonnefanten.nl:
The young (1995) and impressive building by Italian architect Aldo Rossi is a landmark in the new and international known Céramique-district in Maastricht. On the right bank of the river Maas the building with its outstanding dome naturally attracts visitors. The use of natural materials and the preponderance of daylight creates a unique ambience inside. The first thing visitors notice on entering the symmetrical building is the 35-metre-long wooden stairway leading to the various wings and levels.
The ground floor houses the Museum Shop, the Art Library and the Grand Café. Maastricht earthenware is displayed in the halls leading to the café, and permanent installations by Sol LeWitt and Richard Serra are exhibited in the museum garden.
The Bonnefantenmuseum is the Province of Limburg's museum for Old Masters and contemporary fine art. The collection of Old Master Painting and Sculpture is located on the first floor and Contemporary Art on the second. Leave a Comment
