After a lovely lunch in the museum café, we did go back and try to push our way through to see the Rembrandt up close. It was marvelous, but somehow I was drawn to take a picture of the security guard, who seemed to know that he was going to be in 1,000 photos before the day was out.

Another Mona Lisa moment

Only it’s Vermeer and the Dutch are the tallest people in the world.

At least it’s big enough to see

At the Rijksmuseum, the highlight attraction is Rembrandt’s the Night Watch. Just like the Mona Lisa at the Louvre, you can only see it from about 30 feet away unless you’re willing to push through all the other people.
