De Reinwardt Academie is a Dutch institution for higher vocational education in the Netherlands, which offers bachelor's (in Dutch) and master's (in English) degrees in Cultural heritage. The school is named for botanist Caspar Georg Carl Reinwardt, and is part of the Amsterdam University of the Arts (AHK). It is the only AHK-program without entrance examination, with students coming from all over Western Europe. The academy was started in 1976 in Leiden, in a former elementary school building on the Van den Brandelerkade. In the 1980s it moved to the Pesthuis in Leiden, a monumental building from 1661 which now belongs to Naturalis Biodiversity Center. When many Dutch higher professional education institutions merged in 1987, it became part of AHK and in 1992 moved to the Dapperstraat in Amsterdam; in 2015-2016 it moved to the Hortusplantsoen in Amsterdam.The Dapperstraat location was located at 315 Dapperstraat, 1093 BS Amsterdam; and, was home to the International Masters in Museum Studies "Museology" Program from 1992 for roughly the next 30 years. In the early years of the program, the Masters in Museum Studies was directed by Paul Berghuis. Peter van Mensch was one of the key educators of the program. As of 2022, the Masters in Museum Studies program and Dapperstraat location have been closed.

The Dockworker
The Dockworker

The Dockworker (Dutch: De Dokwerker) is a sculpture and monument located at Jonas Daniël Meijerplein in Amsterdam, commemorating the February strike of 1941. The statue was commissioned by the Municipality of Amsterdam and created by sculptor Mari Andriessen. The Haarlem carpenter/contractor Willem Termetz, who knew Andriessen before the war, posed for the statue in 1951. It is believed that they were both part of the resistance. Termetz's heavy build had the presence Andriessen sought. Termetz was initially reluctant to be immortalized in a statue, as he considered the February strike sacred and was not convinced a statue was necessary. Eventually, Godfried Bomans persuaded him to pose. The final version was expected to be ready in mid-1951 after several designs in a plaster model. It was completed a year later. The statue of the dockworker was cast in bronze in 1952 at Binder bronze foundry in Haarlem. Photos made the statue known in the press. On March 28, 1952, the Haarlems Dagblad wrote: "Mari Andriessen has taken an ordinary dockworker as a symbol of the strike, not an idealized worker." The then-Queen Juliana unveiled the statue on December 19, 1952. Since then, it has been the central location for the annual commemoration of the February strike on February 25. The monument has also been the starting or ending point of demonstrations against racism several times. The Dockworker did not always stand in its current location. Initially, the statue faced the Waterlooplein. In 1970, it was relocated to face the Portuguese Synagogue due to metro and Stopera construction works.
