4/5 Tirza van der L. 9 months ago on Google
Visites
the
World
Press
Photo
exhibition.
The
exhibition
was
very
interesting.
It
takes
about
2
hours
to
see
the
images,
to
read
all
the
information,
and
to
watch
the
documentary
style
research.
I
found
the
access
to
the
exhibition
tobe
quite
pricey
for
what
you're
getting.
Then
again,
what
isn't
expensive
nowadays.
The
New
Church
itself
is
a
beautiful
building
and
is
within
a
short
walking
distance
from
Amsterdam
Central
train
station.
It
has
some
very
interesting
features
such
as
graves
of
important
people
from
the
1800s
and
1900s,
the
artwork
and
style
of
the
church
are
very
nicely
preserved
and/or
restored.
Even
on
a
very
warm
day,
the
climate
inside
the
church
is
pleasant.
The
quiet
inside
is
a
stark
contrast
of
the
busy
pedestrian
areas
outside,
especially
on
The
Dam,
where
there
are
often
many
many
people.
The
guest
shop
and
reception
staff
were
excellent
in
providing
information,
and
were
very
welcoming
and
friendly.
This
is
not
the
standard
for
Amsterdam
and
I
was
pleasantly
surprised.
There
was
a
guided
tour
that
had
started
just
before
we
arrived:
a
representative
of
the
world
press
organization
was
informing
a
group
of
people
on
certain
images,
as
well
as
the
back
stories.
It
was
super
interesting,
and
the
gentleman
sharing
the
information
was
very
knowledgeable.
Overall
I
would
recommend
tl
visit
the
church
in
itself
in
case
you
have
no
interest
in
photography
or
history
or
some
of
the
influence
the
media
has
had
and
still
has
on
many
life
changing
situation
on
our
planet.
However,
if
you
have
even
the
slightest
interest
in
world
events,
photography,
art,
politics,
etc,
then
the
World
Press
exhibition
will
really
be
educational,
eye
opening
and
sometimes
confronting.
I
learned
many
things
and
was
moved
by
a
lot
of
the
back
stories.
Enjoy!
