There will be four scenes depicting each element - the first will show the introduction of pillarization and the segregation of Dutch society into four religious/political groups, the second will feature a reenactment of Rembrandt's famous painting "The Night Watch", the third will portray the Dutch Christmas tradition of Sinterklaas and Zwarte Piet, and the fourth will demonstrate a Dutch folk dance while showing the work of musician Tielman Susato, who helped establish Dutch cultural dances and songs.
