July 23: Amsterdam – Beurs 3
So much Beurs, so little time.

More elegant arcuation at the edge of the central Doorgang (passageway).
2570

The Effectenbeurs, the final large chamber of the Beurs, looking spooky.
2575

Windows upon windows.
2579

A chiaroscuro area.
2580

A peek through to the glazed arched roof of the Doorgang.
2582

An elegant, ghostly model of the Beurs.

Still more Catalan vaults. I like the painting on the main I-beam.
2589

Rooms upon rooms.
2590

This hut of light is presumably a recent addition.
2596

Note the pinned connections at the bases of the steel arches.
2597

The entire arc of the Doorgang roof.
2599

This letterbox is rad.
2601

A marginally less elegant skylight configuration than the others.
2602

The western exits of the Beurs had these reproductions of Rembrandt paintings in their arches to advertise the exhibition on Rembrandt currently happening, causing some odd light diffusion effects when viewed from inside.
2606

From the floor of the Goederenbeurs, many snippets of sky shone through the roof shades.
2608
![](pix/beurs-3/2608.jpg)
The Rembrandt exhibition was quite dramatically lit.
2616

At the front end of the Goederenbeurs is this polychromatic vestibule.
2622

An attempt to encompass the entire volume of the Goederenbeurs in one shot. I bet the flags are there at least partly to dampen reverberation.
