Saw an exhibit by an Australian Aboriginal painter in the de Oude kerk (old church) - One whole section is taken up by these paintings - Just awsome.

These are 'dot' paintings - some tell stories of earth, heavens and magic- done by an aboriginal artist - This is modern art.
In this painting the seven sisters are the constellation of Pleiades and the other star Orion - Nyiru is forever chasing the sisters known as the Kunkarunkara women

The church also had some nice stained glass windows.
