Zaanse Schons


This was a much more fascinating place than I expected. In the Netherlands, old buildings in the Zaans river area were being knocked down to make room for development. In 1947 a gentleman took it upon himselft to organize a society to move the buildings to this place, so that they are available in posterity. They've been turned into museums, shops, restaurants.
