While I was visiting Amsterdam a fellow traveler, Marta, recommended a visit to the Katten Kabinet Museum. It is located in one of the homes in the Golden Bend. The architecture of the home is beautiful and the museum is filled with a nice collection of whimsical artwork. I was so glad that I went.

Well most Catholic Churches I know have BINGO games or Dinners for fund raising events. Not the parishioners in St Maarten - their church is on the beach! I wonder how many chairs and umbrellas they have stolen a year?

I'm not sure if this counts as whimsical, but it is different...

This is the North Sketch Gallery in Chatsworth House, Derbyshire. The walls along the window side have been covered with handmade ceramic panels with inset raised ceramic blocks. These are grouped to represent the personal DNA profile of the present Duke and Duchess of Devonshire, their son Lord Burlington and his wife. The fifth panel represents the DNA of ‘everyman’.
