阿姆斯特丹博物馆的最新消息

自然生物多样性中心博物馆对周末馆长Marjolein van Breemen的突然离世表示哀悼。博物馆降半旗以示敬意。

47岁的Van Breemen是博物馆和科学中心社区中备受尊敬的人物。自然生物多样性中心将她描述为"一位备受重视、知识渊博的同事和杰出的人。总是充满活力和想法。闪亮、富有同理心且善于社交。"

除了在自然生物多样性中心的工作外，Van Breemen还参与当地社区活动。2023年，她与两位邻居共同投资了阿姆斯特丹约旦区Noordermarkt附近的一家咖啡馆，展示了她致力于保持社区宜居和活力的承诺。

The Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam has received a major donation of €60 million from the Don Quixote foundation, established by billionaire Rolly van Rappard, co-founder of venture capital company CVC. This substantial contribution comes on top of an earlier €12.5 million gift from the foundation in May 2023.

The funding will be used to transform the green spaces opposite the museum into a new sculpture garden, scheduled to open later this year. The garden project itself will cost approximately €10 million, with the remainder being invested to support other museum activities.

London-based architects Foster + Partners will transform the existing three Amsterdamse Stijl pavilions into exhibition spaces, while Belgian landscape architect Piet Blanckaert will design the garden itself. The sculpture garden will feature works by renowned international artists including Alberto Giacometti, Louise Bourgeois, Alexander Calder, Jean Arp, Roni Horn, and Henry Moore. Van Rappard is also providing part of his collection of 20th century sculptures on long-term loan to the museum.

The garden will be free to the public, offering Amsterdammers a peaceful space to enjoy both nature and art. Museum director Dibbits described it as "a wonderful gift to Amsterdammers where everyone can enjoy nature and art in peace."
