Beatrixpark

This guide to Beatrixpark in Amsterdam opens with Jakoba Mulder, who won an anonymous 1926 design competition that judges praised for its 'tough masculine mind' before learning who had submitted it. It follows her design of these curving paths and this lake between 1936 and 1939, the newborn princess the park was named for, and the years under German occupation when that name was struck from every sign. Look at the trees arching over the water as you listen.
