Many years ago I went to Amsterdam when there was a special Rembrandt exhibition. It was fabulous. Your post has brought back many happy memories, thank you
ReplyDeleteOn our last visit to our son in Amsterdam, we visitied the Rijksmuseum and I was lucky to see the "Night Watch" in real life. It was just fantastic.
