This is the best overview
photo
I could make. All the different parts of the museum are visible, from
the round silver building at the west side to the "did somebody drop a
bomb here" pavillion at the east side.
At the south side - just outside the picture to the right - is the
train station. People arrive by train, walk over the bridge through the
middle of the museum area straight into the center of the city.

Here's the east side part
that
wasn't
quite visible at the first photo.
Almost the whole museum was designed by the Italian architect Mendini.
The deconstructed top pavillion, was created by the Austrian
architect Prix and the Polish architect Swiszinsky. The name of the
pavillion is Coop Himmelb(l)au, a word play on heaven blue and heaven
building.
The canal cruise boats have their home right accross the museum.

pavillion at a different angle.

The yellow tower is for
storage.
The pink building at the left is for personnel. The green building on
the right is a restaurant. Guess where the exhibitions are. Exactly.
Visitors walk around with their heads at water level. I wonder whether
any of the Remote Viewers picked this up. Especially the colorful
corridors connecting to the west pavillion (look at the left of the
picture) should make for interesting scenes.

 Once
you get inside, you buy a ticket in the hall, say hello to the two
guards posting at the stairs, and downwards you go.
Naturally, the Groninger
Museum has its own website, in Dutch, English and German. Switch
off your popups filter, if you have one.

This photo wasn't part of
the first version of this page. After having received the first
submissions, it seemed a good idea to add this photo.
This is the exit towards the center of the city. Mirror this photo to
the left, and you have a good impression of this area.
Calling this a park is an overstatement, but this is a pleasant place
to hang out. Usually you'll see more people sitting here. There are
also nearly always musicians from east Europe making music. Imagine
them in the part just outside this picture, to the left.
On the day itself, there were three men making music near the blue
pilar.
