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

Christmas Windows Walking Tour

Use this Christmas Windows walking tour map to see the holiday window displays at New York City's biggest department stores. This walking tour covers approximately 2 miles and should take about an hour and a half, depending upon your pacing, but not including shopping time. For the best experience, I recommend you wear warm clothes, comfortable shoes, and keep an eye on your belongings, as the area around the various window displays can be crowded.
