THE HAGUE: Amsterdam’s bustling city centre was hit by a major power cut Friday, closing down museums and bringing trams to a halt, the Dutch capital’s power network provider said. The city centre “experienced a large power cut around 11.00 am (1000 GMT) after an electricity cable was cut during excavations” just south of Amsterdam’s historical canal belt, Liander announced on its website. “Some 28,000 households are without power,” it said. Amsterdam’s famous Rijksmuseum was evacuated and will remain closed together with the nearby Alard Pierson Museum, news reports added.
