Madurodam

Madurodam is a amusement park in Den Haag  that started in 1957.  It consists of scale models of dutch buildings and other structures.  You can visit all of The Netherlands in just one stop. Most of the buildings are all mixed up.  There a buildings in Groningen right next to buildings from Amsterdam. Here's a link to the website if you'd like more information:  http://www.madurodam.nl/?page=1 


L:  John by the biggest cathedral in the Netherlands.  R:  I'm pointing out the Gold building in Groningen
  

An example of how all the buildings are mixed up.  You can see the gold building from Groningen next to buildings from other dutch cities. In reality the gold building is next to the groningen city hall and more modern buildings. 
 

A couple views of the Binnenhof and Buitenhof (I mentioned the Binnenhof in the post of Den Haag).
  

Some other buildings at Madurodam.

And John rocking out to an outdoor concert.  They had video screens playing a song from a dutch rock band.  The little figurines moved to the beat.
