Amsterdam - what do I ^have^ to see?

[NotQuiteCockney]

I'm going this weekend. I'm staying somewhere central, will no doubt bike around ... No kids!

LOL at you regretting missing the Penis museum.

I'd deffo go to the van gogh tho, it is quite small and 'do-able'

sex museum instead of vermeer? for god's sake!

DH didn't want to go. I should have gone on my own. It's a penis museum, what's not to like?

If you do the RM, get the audio guide unless you know lots about art.

It helps to you target specific paintings, as the whole place is very big and can be rather overwhelming. Unelss you are a real art buff IYSWIM.

We used the guides, they were excellent

Oh please ride your bike in the Vodelpark and gasp at the Diamond Merchants huge houses

what the hell is a sex museum anyway?

Should I pretend to be higher brow than I am? A sex museum sounds genuinely interesting to me.

I mean Vondelpark

And don't forget to go on the fab trams

I wanted to stay next to the Vodelpark and run in the park in the morning, but sorting out a hotel last week was a complete fecking nightmare, and I'm just happy to have a room that isn't either a bed in a dorm, or a £300/night luxury thing.

Sorry NQC but Art is Everything

would there be that much variety in a penis museum?

Or have I just had a very sheltered exsistance.

Up down, hooded or not, a range of colours, the odd hole or metal work and 'yes this really is 10 inches'

vodelpark, that's the place where you can rent rollerblades.

pmsl.
maybe they have casts, jimmy hendrix sort of things

Honestly. It's the world famous bloody penis museum, and it includes as many species as they could muster. I don't think they have a human one, but they have been willed a few.

See, it comes up first if you google for 'penis museum': here

Jimi Hendrix sort of things...............

I never find much variety in museums of old paintings, tbh ...

I honestly read that as 'willied' a few

Is it an animal knob collection then?

God, for a minute I thought you meant species of penis. Was about to post PENIS IS NOT A SPECIES

what no human penis?? what's so interesting then?

If that's all thats on your mind NQC then just walk around staring at all the beautiful Dutch boys

They try to have knobs for all the mammals of Iceland (which shouldn't be that big, the place is alarmingly undiverse). It apparently "also exhibits a few specimens from mammals not living in Iceland, as well as folkloric specimens (alleged elves, trolls, sea monsters, etc.) and penis-themed art."

well apparently there is - somewhere in the world - a cast of jimmy hendrix penis

No, it's not all on my mind, but it is more interesting than a bunch of old paintings. :-P

Why iceland? Are we talking about an anu=imal penis collection in Holland???
