Tax Museum in Rotterdam

February 13, 2007 at 3:44 PM | by | Comments (0)


What better way to celebrate tax season than book a trip to the Netherlands? We're not even talking about having a little fun in Amsterdam so you can forget all your woes. Celebrate the ancient act of taxing at the Tax & Customs Museum in Rotterdam, whose pretty exterior belies the ugly reason for its existence. Admission, ironically enough, is free.

Information within includes the predictable history lessons, plus an interactive "smugglers' experience" room. Visitors are herded into a dark room that's meant to simulate the inside of a shipping container, and bullied through some simulated suspense. Exhibits are mostly in Dutch, but you'll get the idea.
