Walking in Amsterdam yesterday we bumped into a whole street with murals! Amazing, we don't see so much murals here.
This one refers to a billiard factory next to the mural.
Billiard factory Wilhelmina is one of the oldest of our country and dates from 1898. The name of the the founder's wife was Wilhelmina as well as the year our Queen Wilhelmina was crowned.
The billiardshop is situated in another street close by so probably this used to be the workshop.
The designer of the murals is "Hugo Kaagman"
Linking to "Monday Murals"
Portas e janelas muito bem decoradas.

BeantwoordenVerwijderenGreat find!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenVaude, these are really lovely doors. Wonderful idea to make city more beautiful.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenWell you really hit the mural jackpot here! I would have thought Amsterdam would have many murals Marianne?
BeantwoordenVerwijderenNo we have no tradition here of murals. The houses sre all of bricks and you are not allowed to paint in the streets without a permit.
VerwijderenFine looking mural commemorating a local industry. Is the company still in business of making billiard equipment?
BeantwoordenVerwijderenYes they are and still have a shop close by.
VerwijderenWat een ontdekking! De muurschilderingen zijn ook echt prachtig gemaakt.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenI really like the old building!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenThe blue window art makes the building beautiful.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenI never thought about what a billiard factory might look like or how the balls are made.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenDearest Marianne,
BeantwoordenVerwijderenThat is quite interesting and for sure it is still very popular so production will continue.
Very special murals, all of them!
Hugs,
