The current building of fine Dutch architecture was completed in 1710 and once served many civic and judiciary functions. Beneath the front portico lie some cells which were used as dungeons. The museum took over the premises in 1974 and offers a fine glimpse into the city's colonial past. Thirty-seven ornate rooms display Dutch furniture, old maps, antiquities and Dutch East India Company (V.O.C.) memorabilia, recreating the atmosphere prevalent during the Dutch era.

Unusual shot, a bit dark, but beautiful.

Very unusual and beautiful Dimas. It does convey a sense of the history of this magnificent building.

An interesting capture, Dimas. A beautiful looking building and nice contrast in your photo. Thanks for sharing the history of the building.

Think about the photo before and after, never during. The secret is to take your time. You mustn't go too fast. The subject must forget about you. Then, however, you must be very quick.

Dimas...Excellent narrative and photo. Your architectural photography keeps getting better. I love the technique you used to create the "look" of this photo.
