Park
Erasmuspark
Jan van Galenstraat, 1056 LE Amsterdam
Urban park redesigned in a Mondrian-inspired grid, with Amsterdam School bridges and a bronze Leda sculpture.
This guide to Erasmuspark in Amsterdam opens with the 1961 death of bridge designer Piet Kramer, whose two hundred Amsterdam School bridges across the city were followed by the destruction of every drawing he ever made, except for the one still crossing water in this park. It traces the 1960s redesign of the park's paths along the geometry of Piet Mondrian's paintings, and a bronze sculpture waiting by the water. Walk the straight paths and right angles that turned a park into a painting you can cross on foot.
