Culture was hot this weekend just past. Not only did
the masses visit Uitmarkt to guzzle up lots of culture, but a couple of
cultural hotspots got hit by armed robbers. At 2am on Monday morning,
three masked men tied up three security guards at the new Openbare
Bibliotheek and took off with an undisclosed sum of money. Then at 9am,
another two robbers smashed through the glass of the ticket office at
Artis and told those present to hand over the cash. Coincidence? Or
maybe we should embrace it as a sign of a new kind of cultural
entrepreneurship. You see something you like? Why, just take it. Don’t
forget to try this approach next time you visit the Rijksmuseum. A new
season has begun.
