5th Jan 2015, Amsterdam Museum
A chapel for Maradona, the football champion, with his photo in the middle surrounded by the Pope and other saints. Maradona as an idol and football as a religion are part of the exhibition: ‘Football Hallelujah!’. Football and the history of Amsterdam, rituals, differences between people and what connects them – all these topics and more are part of the exhibition.
My son and his friend ( young teenagers) were fascinated by the stories about football and understood the power of history and religion.
