Tempel van het geluk 1816

"Tempel van het geluk" (Temple of Happiness), created by Jan (Sr.) Oortman in 1816, is a board game design, now in the Rijksmuseum. The game board itself is a complex circular path featuring various rewards and obstacles, symbolized by images like flowers, dice, and a skeleton in a boat. The destination is a temple, representing the path to happiness. This artwork offers a glimpse into 19th-century Dutch leisure and morality, where games served both entertainment and educational purposes.
