This is the courtyard of the National Maritime Museum in Amsterdam, a former arsenal. It is complete renovated and the inner courtyard has got a glass roof now with meridians, which give nice shadows on the building. The historic building dates from 1656 as a storehouse for the Admirality of Amsterdam.
Its self-supporting construction is made up of thousands of pieces of glass in a metal frame.
The ship moored alongside the museum is an exact copy of the famous Dutch East Inda Company ship the Amsterdam, lost on her maiden voyage in 1749.
dit glazen dak maakt het wel bijzonder !
