Calebash pipe on show

28 October 2021

In anticipation of the Amsterdam Museum Night at the beginning of next month, posters for this event are being pasted on the publicity signs. We are proud that Sherlock Holmes' famous calabash pipe is clearly on display. It is special that such a daily consumer item like the gourd has become an icon for pipe smoking. Though it's not entirely clear whether the younger generation still has this association. In any case, a nice advertisement for the Amsterdam Pipe Museum. Let's hope that the N8 will be well visited in these uncertain Corona times.
