Amorfortia

The visitor journey begins with an intro show starring an existing scale model of the city, on which a new animated layer is projected. The second gallery showcases the gigantic masterpiece Gezicht op Amersfoort surrounded by translucent forest prints, creating the sensation of emerging from the woods onto a view on the oil-painted city. The colonial history of Amersfoort is presented in a dark and narrow alley, before arriving to the oldest room, where medieval features like wall paintings uncover historic habitation of the building. The scenography centers around a big fireplace, giving a sense of connection to the past: people have gathered here and told their stories for many centuries.
