Dutch King Willem-Alexander visited the Anne Frank House museum in Amsterdam Thursday after a two-year reboot to give the building a new entrance hall, redesigned exhibition spaces and a new way of telling the story of the teenage Jewish diarist.

The aim of renewing the landmark museum was to “provide more information about the historical context and background of the story we represent, which is the story of Anne Frank,” executive director Ronald Leopold said.

What hasn’t changed is the museum’s moving centerpiece: the spartan secret annex, reached via a door concealed behind a bookcase, where Anne wrote her world-famous diary as she, her family and four other Jews hid for two years from Nazis during World War II until they were arrested and deported to concentration camps.

Tim Allen: ‘The Santa Clause’ originally had morbid twist

Did you know Tim Allen shot Santa?

It’s true, the actor told Jimmy Fallon on Wednesday’s “The Tonight Show”: “The original ‘Santa Clause’ is a little darker, written by two comedians, and I actually shot and killed Santa. … He fell off the roof because I thought he was a burglar. He gives me the card, the whole movie starts.”

In the 1994 holiday classic, Scott Calvin (Allen) startles Santa, causing the big guy to fall from the roof. When Santa gives Scott a card telling him he’s next in line to fill out the red suit and shiny black boots, the Ho Ho Holidays really get rolling.

But wait, we didn’t see Scott brandishing a firearm, did we?

“I’m laughing so hard, but the head of Disney at the time, (Jeffrey) Katzenberg, said, “We can’t start a Disney movie with you murdering Santa.”
