National Gallery - Color House - Amersfoort

A colored crystal house! It exists and it is a real house in Amersfoort on the Heiligenbergerweg. A modern four-story building with a house, a studio and exhibition space. It is a new artwork by the Chinese-Dutch painter Juane Xue, which she has created for art, for the Amersfoort and Dutch public and for herself.
