Artis

About

Walking along a quiet alley in Amsterdam, the trumpeting cry of an elephant brushes your ear, drawing you into a garden thick with ancient trees. Light seeping through the glass walls of the aquarium building adds vitality to the animals while at the same time spreading the quiet fragrance of art. A stone bridge that seems almost to float in midair becomes a bridge of time blending art and nature, drawing visitors one step further inside. Wave-like light flowing beyond the glass windows mingles with the movement of the animals, lifting an artistic sentiment into the air. Here, masterworks of Impressionism feel almost alive, even set within a wild landscape.
