Beautiful openwork medal, with a fitting statement: 'Tomorrow is today's past' by Jannes Limperg.
Thinly cast, slightly convex, divided into four planes; an extremely well-thought-out design. It is the task of a museum to preserve things from the past in the present for the future. This idea is depicted: on the three segments is written `tomorrow' - 'is today' - 'past'. On the fourth segment, the covering of the corner has been pulled back, a diamond pattern appears, as if to indicate what is being preserved. These could be tiles, which are part of the large collection of the Open Air Museum. It could also be a folded-away mill sail. The sail and what lies beneath it has a different patina - gold-coloured and green - than the rest of the medal, which is brown. This is a new concept in Dutch medal art. The four segments overlap and turn like the wings of a mill. This refers to another aspect of the museum and at the same time gives an impression of movement and time and reinforces the three words, which also have to do with time. The segments do not quite connect, there is still a gap left open. There you can see the open sky. (source VVPK)
