Exhibition 'Baron van Slingelandt’s model theatre' in Allard Pierson
After being in storage for a long time, visitors can once again vieuw the 18th-century model theatre built for Baron van Slingelandt. For years it was one of the most popular items in the Theatre Museum on Herengracht in Amsterdam. This famous model theatre is a miniature version of a theatre, complete with sliding scenery flats. It was used to demonstrate how theatre worked. The flats were made by the scenic artists of the former Amsterdam City Theathre that was subsequently destroyed by fire. The theatre has eight 18th-century and six 19th-century scenery flats.
