RIJKSMUSEUM ATELIERGEBOUW

摘要

The lift purrs up to the third floor of the Rijksmuseum's new Atetiergebouw and ping! You're in a high-tech, high-spec version of an artist's garret, bathed in pale, Low Countries light, with the turrets and gables of Amsterdam wheeling off in all directions. Ateliergebouw means 'studio building', and this workshop is the set piece space in a facility dedicated to the conservation of historic objects, from paper and ceramics to metal and textiles. Up here, paintings from the museum's collection are repaired by attentive conservators.
