19: Veg Auction Museum

Posted by Jonti Bloom on June 27, 2007

What can I tell you? We left Amsterdam, still in search of this Cherry person. Ended up at a Vegetable Auction Museum! There’s no way this sort of stuff is going to get my awards cabinet filled with glittering prizes…

The Vegetable Auction Museum

Posted by Ian Jones on June 27, 2007

Ian's treat

I’ve been to every museum in Amsterdam and environs and at least three of them were brilliant, even though I only got to go in one. In order of preference I would put them at:

3. Energetica. Through the window I could see bits of giant machines and an antique radio. A good start for a museum.

2. Museum of Our Lord in the Attic. Not sure which Lord they’ve got up there, but am assuming it’s one of the less omnipresent ones. Thoth would be good. Or Hanuman.

1. Vegetable Auction Museum at Broeker Veiling. I’ve read a lot of speculative fiction, but nothing could prepare me for this. Remarkable.

Also, Mr Van Loon of the Houseboat Museum was very kind. Is he related to the Van Loons of the Museum Van Loon? I’m assuming a schism.

Listen to the voices

My Mum’s next door neighbour once had a strange sensation in the meat and
dairy aisle. She described it as a cross between gentle slapping and pins
and needles in her face. Two Tuesdays later she discovered mould in her
stairwell carpet. Coincidence? I somehow doubt it.
