You're standing at the National Glass Museum in Leerdam, the Dutch town of glass. Take a look at the buildings. This isn't a modern museum block, but two villas. They were once the homes of the directors of the local glassworks, Cochius and Bunge. During a renovation the two houses were linked by see-through footbridges. Queen Beatrix reopened the museum in 2010.
