Schiphol Airport.

An exhibition in the Amsterdam Museum about the celebration of 100 years of Schiphol Airport.

These are the loved ones waving goodbye.

You could have a seat in the virtual control tower.

The bags of the Tax Free shop.

An item about contraband. In this underwear little birds were stiched! The skin of a zebra is also forbidden to enter the country.

  5. Even though I'm scared of flying I do like the exhibition photos, very effective Marianne. How absolutely awful to try and smuggle those little birds, they must have been terrified!

  10. Airports have grown to be huge complexes with many stores and restaurants. I would be much happier with just the air service.

  11. Aviation is a dream that has become normal; but we can still feel the dream in this museum and in take-off!

  12. The Netherlands is a small country. Amsterdam, for all its wonders, is not a very big city. But Schiphol is such a vast airport it's hard to understand. It certainly gives you plenty of walking exercise.
