The Rijksmuseum - Amsterdam's vast cultural monument the ‘Rijksmuseum’ has a quite unknown but interesting, and free-of-charge, garden.  Besides the gardens’ beautiful kept plant beds and fountains there are some nice statues and sculptures. But more particular is a collection of  samples from five centuries of architecture, collected from all over the country. Gothic columns,  old stone tablets and even complete city gates.  Various portions of torn-down monuments have been set into a ''building of fragments”, which look like a quilt of stone.
