History
Amsterdam's Municipal Theatre of 1894, by Jan Springer, is in the Flemish Renaissance style, like the Rijksmuseum, the numerous tourelles and gazebos containing emergency exits, if only the audience could find them. The Amsterdam theatre, behind its profusion of ornament, basically follows the model of Vienna, with two grand staircases at the sides.
