Dutch art

Post by spliphy2 »

At one time they allowed cameras to be taken into the Rijks museum. I'm not sure if they allow this now. Anyway i wish they would get their act together and finish the building's restoration.

If you really want to get close up and study the paintings you should check out their website. Brilliant :D .

Looking at quite a few sites I've noticed that most galleries in the world employ very talented people and do some excellent websites these days.
What a long strange trip it is.

yes, very slick looking, but, I notice I can't rid rid of the yellow line overlay on the Nightwatch for instance.

Also, the screen on the interactive is...just...small. I like mine better even though the camera was not the best.

It seems that the exhibitors are really trying to protect those images from anyone else. In some ways I don't blame them but I'm glad of the pictures I took when I had the chance.

When I was there in October of 2011, I was told in no uncertain terms to put the camera away. This, despite the fact, that I was taking pictures without the flash.

Like you, I wish they would get the restoration finished. It's been a work in progress for my last three (3) trips.

I really love the painting in your Picture 1405.

I remember that being one of my favorites from my 2010 trip.
