1. I love the Rijksmuseum. The people there are amazing and friendly. I emailed them a question

about the color of a wall behind the Night Watch. The email I received a day later had been forwarded to two other people and finally one of their curators sent me the color's name and a link to the other details of the exhibit.

I'm wanting to paint my library wall the color of the wall behind the painting.



Go there if you ever get the chance.

3. I will likely never get a chance, but thank you for that interesting tidbit!

Breathtaking room... the color really enhances the paintings by making them pop (all elements of the room are really thoughtful).

Lucky you!

9. Yes.

I happily spent many hours there, and in the Hermitage while it was housing the Van Gogh collection.

11. I'll never forget standing in front of that painting at 18 y.o.

What an amazing painting, museum and country. I was lucky to have stayed there for months.

6. That ain't nuthin'.

I'm from New Jersey and the carousel belts in Newark Airport have spent chewing gum and some of it is placed in artistic patterns. If I'd known it was of interest, I would'a taken pictures.

7. I love, love, love the Dutch.

I wonder how the moron would screw up their country's name like he did with Great Britain (England, the British Isles, etc). "The Dutch, Holland, the Netherlands" would tie his pea sized brain into knots.
