The second time I've posted art on here that shows the female form and it's been labelled as 'adult content' (the first one was ironically a sketch by Louise Bourgeois...)
In case it needed repeating; a woman's body is not inherently sexual. I doubt it would be labelled the same for a male torso...

There's a cafe a few mins from the museum and it's a real experience. Crispy or soft rolls, tartan sauce (red and brown), you can buy lasagne and fish and chips if you so desire, but also vapes, water guns and celtic themed bar mats. It also has a massive photo of Amsterdam on the back wall. Vibes
