netherlands. most famous artists make sense, right? but there are also a few things about the rights museum. bet may surprise you. let's take a closer look. ah, i'm atmosphere of og. my name is peter wagner myers, and we're in the right museum and amsterdam here. this is basically my home. it's my office office. my be all the art historian shares with us 5 surprising things to discover here. first of all, there is a road straight through the museum. this is here. this here is a bike path. here's a z, i think this is the only museum with a bike path running straight through it. i think it's pretty crazy, but also a bit silly corners, because you don't need a bike in the museum yet you can ride through the museum with one mancha msm proud voice museum. every attempt to close down the bike path has failed in the plight. crazy netherlands. in fact, until 1931,

even cars could drive through. ma, give you go through here to enter the city center. what are or you come out of the city. so it's actually a gateway lea, i'm tor. this path also has a special little detail as kitty, there's a surprise and you see it outside but not inside the museum. the house that there is a secret door and the guy to you. but we'll come back to that. the museum opened in $1885.00, and it's architect also planned to be amsterdam central station. the buildings are strikingly similar. the collection showcases 800 years of dutch history and artistic treasures like rembrandts night want or the milk made by young fam. here, one more fun fact, many doubt now is that the museums rims were painted white for a long time. was mine,

years was eat the here you see something that was gone in the 20th century. mia? the are this room here is a reconstruction of the $1885.00 original is one bus via but in the 20th century they said, let's get rid of let out because it's a distraction as so it distracts from the art as uplink up blanco than you don't need decoration to show art all kind of in this series. justin decoration. when does this year? what vehicle have zoom all the foosball lore you see here to. it's a beautiful floor already bought. they took it out and put wood over it. when i had been the hotel, we began leave the building was only restored to its former glory in 2013. after 10 years of work. and there is a hidden room that many overlook the library. there dbi, the library is still just like it was. the beauty not much is changed as you can see it in the staircase and the ceiling on the trapper was it is all,

everything is the way it was back in the 19th century and that's simply beautiful. now you can feel the history here, food. you dig a shift. ah, and the most famous painting in the collection has a surprising secret that says he, the man, this is the night watch actually the money, but the night watch isn't 100 percent here. i'm hottest optician, they cut parts of it off in the 18th century is as it was moved to the amsterdam city hall, that was when i'm saddam, and they voted on the wall and thought spectrum hod doesn't fit us past. not my man, if you come and look here, my mit, you can see how a piece was cut off. i hear what i understood of christmas and not just some tiny piece either. this was about 33 centimeters. naida. oh, they cut a bit off the top 2 and a tiny bit on the right climates. vincent gast, i had a bit at the bottom as well. hm. the same, so you're not looking at a whole. rembrandt is more like 80 percent on sizes. and tyler emigrants seek put

sense the night watch was also the reason for the secret door mentioned earlier. was 1000 seat. what you see up there is eyes on monday. did you see the brick? but these, but then his eyes arch, which is a secret opening i'm to is almost like an james bond. what kind of so you can open it and take down the night. watch. i love the knocked off not so the night watch is up there behind that trap door. a cubby, and you'd have a truck waiting down here on my wall monday. and then you can take down the whole painting in one piece without having to roll it up and send it off somewhere if you need to, north. and if that is the only ever happened twice once, just before world war 2. and again, during the museums expensive renovation, normally please transfers are here all the time for every one to enjoy. who loves flamenco? never eat supper before 10 pm and is late to everything. if you go by the cliches

we'd be talking about spaniards, but how much of that is true? how much of it is stereotype? how much is maybe a little bit of both in our segment, truth or cliche. we're asking people from different european countries. what they're really like, and this time we're meeting for young people from spain. why are spaniards always late as spanish? men or women? good lovers, but it ah, spain. that's the southern european country where folks are always poem and go dancing. taking a siesta and eating top us or are those just stereotypes? there are close to 50000000 spaniards in berlin. we asked 4 of them about cliches. we are here for i'm say to you,

if they at most google questions about this is that are through our cliche i was finding men, women, good lovers. 123, a 13 and to get no like, i feel like when you get on with women, spanish, women they, they make it difficult. yeah. to do a lot of proofs of, of everything. and then we are very good lovers. thing we are focusing on the physical part or i would say so then. yeah, i would say we'll get ah, are spanish men short? 123. 0 we're going to show. yeah. i don't know the for when his plan is to over there it's for so it will be yeah. the
