The Cathedral of Thorns is an incredible museum within a museum within a museum. There are sculptures throughout the cathedral walls. We went during the day and got to really appreciate the art within the walls and the structure itself, which is absolutely stunning. Such a memorable amazing experience we will be talking about for years. The gallery inside the landhuis is also wonderful, and there are sculptures outside.

Also, the Number 10 restaurant is on the property, it is almost impossible to get a table there, there are only ten tables, we had to try twice to get a table, and then it turned out they had run out of basically everything on the menu, and the service was unbelievably slow, Like, so slow that the museum closed and we had to walk way around to get back to our car.

I went there to see an art exhibit and took the chance to walk around. You can still feel the authentic colonial flavor. I recommend you sit on the porch and drink something. Not amazing, but nice to visit.

This is a very interesting work of art made from thorny branches specially treated and arranged in all kind of different shapes and various symbols of today's world religions . After wards we had a great walk all around the landhuis and saw some other works from different artists .…
