This is the last weekend for Amsterdammers to catch a squinting glimpse of Damien Hirst’s powerfully lit, diamond encrusted skull (modestly titled For the Love of God) at the Rijksmuseum.

In keeping with Hirst’s reputation as basically having his own license to print money, I wondered what the gift shop would be offering. There was a lot of goofy junk (a skull-emblazoned baseball cap?), but this little skull keychain wins for sheer absurdity:

My guess is that’s how Hirst sounds when he’s plotting his art stunts.

On its own the skull is pretty much a whole lotta nothin’, but Hirst and the Rijksmuseum deserve credit for giving it some context. For more on that, read my review at Amsterdam Spoke.
