| Summary: | In 2017, the Rijksmuseum and five city museums in the Netherlands entered into an eight-year partnership for an ambitious series of traveling exhibitions. Theme are the four elements: earth, water, air and fire. These will be translated in the exhibition series Low Lands, Cool Waters, High Skies and Hot Fires. Of the four elements 'earth, water, air and fire', the element water is the most characteristic of the Netherlands. The Netherlands is located in the lowest delta in the world. The large rivers, the location by the sea and 18,000 km of dikes that have to turn the water around determine the Dutch landscape. Water is both friend and foe. The collaborating museums do not only look backwards at 'Cool Waters', but also ahead. They asked LOLA Landscape Architects from Rotterdam what consequences a sea level rise of 6 meters could have. The result is a completely new map of the Netherlands, with the western part of the Netherlands largely under water. This means that the Netherlands has to rethink. Also the five cities in which the organizing museums are located. Metropolisfilm from Utrecht visualized the opportunities and threats for each city.
