Water Museum flooded

The Water Museum in Arnhem has to stay closed on Tuesday due to - irony of ironies - flooding. One visitor said that the museum is honoring its name of "experience museum" with 'interactive' displays. In a case that the museum itself calls "too much perception", water found its way into the building due to a leak. After the heavy rainfall of Monday, the café is also closed for the time being. The museum was built on a low point in Arnhem. https://twitter.com/zijlstrah70/status/493741390703382528
