A Glimpse Inside Amsterdam's Embassy of the Free Mind
"Koppen" is a well-established photo series in Het Parool, a local Amsterdam newspaper. Each week, Michiel van Nieuwkerk visits a different location within the city, photographing twelve people who work or gather there. These portraits are presented without captions or additional commentary, offering an unadorned look into various facets of Amsterdam life.
In 2026, the column focused on the Embassy of the Free Mind, with its team members photographed inside the historic Huis met de Hoofden, located at Keizersgracht 123. The feature was published in the print edition of the newspaper, providing readers with a visual insight into the people behind the museum and library dedicated to philosophical and spiritual traditions.
