OK, one more: the old Santos warehouse has been beautifully transformed into the new Museum of #Photography in #Rotterdam. The building rightly bears a crown on its roof.

Quite apart from the vast collection itself, the building housing the Dutch National Museum of #Photography in #Rotterdam – a former warehouse with many original features still visible – is a real feast for the eyes.

The issue of inequality in street names named after women has been resolved. During #Amsterdam #WorldPride 2026, the Herengracht (meaning ‘men’s canal’) was renamed Damesgracht (meaning ‘women’s canal’) at least temporarily.

I’ve never taken part in a protest march before. But it’s more important than ever to show that we, #LGBTQIA+ people, are here. Just as we’ve always been here, but fortunately now more visible.
