Rijksmuseum plans huge Rembrandt show

 

Amsterdam's Rijksmuseum will mark the 350th anniversary of Rembrandt's death next year with a major exhibition of the painter's works, drawn from its own collection. 

The show, which will run from February through June, will be followed by a restoration in place of the museum's Rembrandt centerpiece, The Night Watch, in a process that will take place in full view of the public.

The museum calls the exhibition a ‘once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to glean an unparalleled perspective on Rembrandt the artist, the human, the storyteller and the innovator.’ It will include a months-long series of lectures, workshops and other events.

No other museum has as many Rembrandt paintings; there are 22 at the Rijksmuseum, and a total of 20 at the next two museums. Also on display will be 60 drawings and more than 300 prints.

The best part of every trip is realizing that it has upset your expectations
