Veilingzaal (1.20 on floorplan)

The grain that used to be traded in Berlage’s corn exchange was not sold on the trading floor. If you wanted to stand a chance of getting a batch of grain, you first had to place your bids in the Veilingzaal. The Veilingzaal is located above the Graanbeurszaal and can be reached via the stairwell. Grain was not auctioned in the corn exchange itself, but in this auction room. Little is known about its original layout, but what we do know is that the acoustics were atrocious. Beautiful oak panelling was installed to remedy this problem. The Veilingzaal is a large breakout hall located on the 1st floor
