Press Release: Don't let the money go to your head

Tuesday 30th September 2008

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

For those who like things that sparkle it doesn’t get much more bling than Amsterdam this autumn. Short breaks from £309 per person for 2 nights by rail.

Amsterdam’s already impressive gem collection gets even better from 1st November – 15th December when Damien Hirst’s diamond encrusted skull rolls into town - well not literally.

This glittering cranium is the highlight of the artist’s exhibition ‘For the love of God’ taking place at the Rijksmusuem, where it will be accompanied by Hirst’s personal selection of work from the museum’s collection.

Disproving the theory “you can’t take it with you’, for those wanting to compete with the skull’s 8,601 flawless diamonds, a trip to nearby Coster Diamonds may be in order. Lucky visitors can watch skilled craftsmen at work, enjoy a free guided tour and of course make that all important purchase.

Visit Amsterdam with Railbookers and stay at the 4* contemporary Movenpick Amsterdam Hotel from £309 per person for two nights, including breakfast and return train travel.
