The massive Markthal resembles a horseshoe-shaped art gallery, with its metallic sheen and vibrant murals of fruits and vegetables inside, making market shopping a fashionable experience. The plan to build Markthal originated from new Dutch regulations for food vendors, which required all stalls to have awnings, changing the format of traditional open-air markets. In addition to the change in external form, the food sold must also meet the official safety standards in order to operate.
