De Bazel ? Daar legt Amsterdam! - a photo on Flickriver

De Bazel ? Daar legt Amsterdam!

Europe, Netherlands, Noord Holland, Amsterdam, Vijzelstraat, Stadsarchief.Amsterdam - De Bazel, Globe (slightly cut from all sides)

On the ground floor (central court) of the fab De Bazel building, big globes are placed, not with the map of the world printed on them, but with the city plan of Amsterdam. I had the feeling that in one way or another, Amsterdam self aggrandizing was at play here ;-)

And while processing this pic one my favourite Johan Cruyff quotes crossed my mind. He talked about the upcoming Feijenoord - Olympique Marseille soccer match and thought that it was going to be a tough one. He was asked why and shared it: Because they're from Marseille, and in Marseille lays the world!.
In Dutch / Cruyff-speak: "Marseille ? Daar legt de wereld!"

On my way to the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam with Leun we passed 'De Bazel' and couldn't resist to have a look in this fascinating building.
