Holland's small pavilion was on the site formerly allotted to Russia on the Place of Nations and abandoned by that country when war had begun with Japan. On three sides steep-pitched Dutch gables with corbie-steps on the slopes topped the building.
Description
A typical Dutch garden surrounded the structure.
While not an exact copy of the home of Rembrandt, the building is a perfect piece of sixteenth century domestic architecture, and is a curio shop of old furniture. Delft pottery and silver. In one of the rooms is a painting eighteen feet long by twelve wide, a reproduction of the most famous of all Rembrandt's paintings, the one that has been called "The Night Watch," copied by Hendrik Kleyn, which was in the State Museum at Amsterdam at the time. An admission fee was charged to view the picture.
The other parts of the building were free and contained fine antique Holland furniture.
