The Netherlands Bank

 

Feel me a bit blue today ( inside a vault)

first I had to pass this door

Then that one

And in the old times you would see a lot of these cars and racks with gold bars but today the National Netherlands bank is empty of gold and the vaults are now open for everyone to look inside as national museum also to show their art collection. Strange enough the rest of the building is still the national bank and not free for the public. Wonder how much this have cost for the taxpayer.

  5. Banks used to have these impressive vaults to protect their wealth. Gold still has value, but is not the basis of bank assets. Interesting that the vaults have become a museum. Love your photo of infinite mirror reflections. S.C., you look good in blue.

  6. Those vault doors are pretty impressive. I wouldn't want to get stuck there with a closed door.
