Vianen City Museum

image by Jarig Bakker, 2 Nov 2003

In Vianen one sees at the end of the Voorstraat an interesting flag wappering from the City Museum's gable. it's a flag: quartered : 1 and 3 three horizontal stripes of yellow and red; 2 and 4 three black columns on white, placed 2 and 1; at the intersection a white escutcheon charged with a black man's image.
The flag was designed c. 6 years ago by Mr. Otto ter Steege. The tricolores are derived from the provincial flag; the other quarters contain the arms of Vianen, while the escutcheon shows the emblem of the "Stedelijk Museum", symbol of harmony and balance: it is a detail from a woodcut from the 16th century."
From: "Vlaggen", no. 85, 1994 (magazine edited by Anton Jansen).
