Trippenhuis (Jacob van Lennep wandeling)
Turn right into Oude Hoogstraat, Antiquariaat Kok nowadays certainly has old Van Lennep novels on display. On the Kloveniersburgwal 29, on the left, across the street is the Trippenhuis, the former Rijksmuseum. The Night Watch was there. Jacob van Lennep worked hard for a new museum, because the Trippenhuis was far too small, too draughty and unclear. Source: Marita Mathijsen, 'Deftige circles. A walk through Jacob van Lennep's Amsterdam '. In: Ons Amsterdam 70 (2018) 7-8 (July-Aug), 40-45.
