The Age of Rembrandt: Dutch Paintings at the Met

The Age of Rembrandt: Dutch Paintings in The Metropolitan Museum of Art

September 18, 2007–January 6, 2008

Special Exhibition Galleries, 2nd floor

The exhibition presents the Museum's entire collection of Dutch paintings in approximate order of acquisition, from the founding purchase of 1871, to the major gifts and bequests of the 1880s through the 1940s, and finally to the strategic accessions of the 1950s onward. Reflecting how the Museum's great collection of Dutch paintings is closely linked with the institution's history, the installation outlines how the collection was formed, following the taste for Dutch art in America and among New York's great collectors.

If you are interested in organizing a visit to the Met to see this exhibit with us on FRIDAY (museum is open until 9pm) please contact Daniel & Megan Parker: drparker@mac.com or megperks@gmail.com
