Welcome, fellow travelers and scholars of architectural history, to the bustling heart of Amsterdam. We find ourselves standing before a monument that fundamentally redefined the concept of public entertainment in the Netherlands. …
Listen in the app2The Narrow Approach and Red Carpet History3:30
Before we cross the grand threshold, I urge you to look closely at the street upon which we are standing. This is the Reguliersbreestraat, a surprisingly narrow and perpetually busy thoroughfare in the center of Amsterdam. …
