Oh those long hours that the frequent traveller must endure hanging around airports. Well, if flying out of Amsterdam's Shiphol Airport why not spend a pleasant hour visiting a small annex of the Rijsmuseum which is situated right inside the airport departure area.
This forms part of the Dutch National Museum (which is what Rijksmuseum actually means). The gallery shows a changing exhibition of classical and modern art. It housed a series of paintings from the Dutch Golden Age when I visited the place.
Once you have caught up on your emails and read your Dan Brown or John Grisham, why not wander up the stairs of the Rijksmuseum shop to the gallery above and contemplate some seriously good art.
