The hidden history of Amsterdam, beautifully designed by Irma Boom
The hidden history of Amsterdam, beautifully designed by Irma Boom
Beneath Amsterdam lies a hidden world. discarded, forgotten, and concealed. The city archaeologists have already uncovered many of these secrets for everyone to see. after all, the city continues to build upon what our predecessors, the 'Amsterdammers' of old, once left behind. The results of seventy years of archaeological digging and exploration have been carefully conserved and are stored in the archaeological depot.
Irma Boom has crafted a surprising collection from thousands of finds, arranging them in her own sequence of form, color, and texture. These are everyday objects that were commonplace to the city dwellers of the past, yet often mysterious or still recognizable to us today.
With the collection assembled by Irma Boom, she presents Amsterdam's archaeology in a new, aesthetic light. In doing so, she casts a personal glow on the objects that reflect the city's history, while giving each object space to tell its own unique story.
