Crackling crust, pillowy middle. The kind of bagel that earns a second cup of coffee.
Summary
British architecture studio Foster + Partners has unveiled plans for a sculpture garden beside the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam. The project, named the Don Quixote Pavilion and Garden at the Rijksmuseum, will merge two existing gardens into a single riverside plot facing the museum's eastern wing. The design includes the renovation of three brick pavilions that will serve as exhibition spaces for sculptures and art installations. The garden aims to create a new public space that connects the museum with the surrounding urban environment while providing a contemplative setting for displaying sculptures.
