White magic A file photo shows a man putting finishing touches on an exhibit in Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. An enormous white bathtub made out of bullet-proof material is to catapult Amsterdam’s world-famous Stedelijk modern art museum back into the 21st century after an absence of almost 10 years. The museum that more than 70 years ago set the trend for the now ubiquitous white gallery walls reopened recently, adorned with its 100-metre (30-foot) bathtub-shaped extension that architect Mels Crouwel describes as "shiny, flashy... and white".
