Press Museum

In the "Press Museum" in Amsterdam I saw this old card catalog used by editorials of papers and magazines. They call it now the old "Wikipedia". I have always liked reading papers and magazines and even worked for seven years for a women's magazine, so I liked this exhibiton very much.

Who doesn't remember.

A newspaper headline "Mom, this is the one" from 1999. Our Crownprince Willem Alexander had secret meetings with an unkown girl in New York. He was spotted by a dutch journalist who took these photo's. You can see our current Queen Maxima roller skating in NY and the prince is the one in the blue shirt at the right, trying to act he doesn't know her. 
After much political troubles about her father who had been part of the totalitarian regime in Argentina  they got finally married in 2002 without the presence of her parents.

  2. Ik heb ook typen geleerd op een echte typemachine, al wel een electrische trouwens. Interessant museum lijkt me.

  6. Whenever I look at an old typewriter I can hardly believe what was produced. People had to be skillful. No cut and paste with that machine.

    Soon there is a whole generation that does not understand any of these objects.
