Photos from the Nederlands Fotomuseum

We went to the Nederlands Fotomuseum which was really great. I resisted the urge to take any pictures in the museum but when I got to the Cyanotype exhibit I couldn’t resist. You can see some of the pictures below

Also, they had this really cool digital gallery thingy so here’s a video of that!

I also saw this silly bus which turned out to be one of these water bus things

Then on the train ride home I watched about 8 people look at a seat, have a weird facial expression and walk away, not sitting on the chair

Zahrah pointed out that there was a sticky note on the chair saying it was wet (I couldn’t see the note)

At some point an old man came along, looked perplexingly at the note, and decided to touch it and was like - this is not wet?

The man across said, yeah it doesn’t look wet but I don’t know

The old man sat on the seat next to the labeled-as-wet one

People continued to walk past and look at the sticky note and walk away

The old man moved the sticky note away, this was either to state that the seat is in fact not wet - or as an effort to prank someone by making them sit on a wet seat

We do not know

Zahrah had some comments about how everyone was appealing to the authority of the sticky note and how much that says about the fragility of the social contract

IDK I was just sitting and laughing every time anyone walked past because it was funny

Anyways … here are the pictures then!
