It was sn awesome experience! Do not have words to express our appreciation of the larger than life painting. The other art works and photographs were all excellent. We made a special trip just for this to Den Haag from Amsterdam and it was totally worth it.

It is an impressive panoramic beach picture (painting) that uses sounds to depict life at that time. Absolutely worth seeing! Panometers are used in a similar way in Germany. We almost liked this exhibition here in the Netherlands better!
