Stedelijk Museum

Go to this if you go to Amsterdam.  When I go back later in the year, I will definitely re-visit it.  There was a temporary Mike Kelley exhibition on when I went last weekend too.

Staying in the Museum Quarter was a good choice.

Wooden tiger conquers man.  Not the greatest photo but this rules.

Dog conquers serpent.  He's so casual about it.
