Rembrandt and Amsterdam go together hand in glove. The Rijksmuseum has over two million visitors a year, and it’s a safe bet that all of them spend a few seconds in front of ‘The Night Watch’, his seventeenth-century masterpiece. But the painting has a doppelgänger. On the Rembrandtsplein, overlooked by the master himself, all of the twenty-two characters in the painting are cast in bronze, and stand inviting touch, encouraging a smile. Being able to step into The Night Watch is quite a neat feat!
Nice to see the Night Watch brought alive here !!

I have a favourite here. Member of the night’s watch gets a cigarette from a woman. A rare consonance.
