On my visits to Amsterdam back in 2007/2008 the main part of the Rijksmuseum was closed for renovation but there was a small (about 10 rooms or so) part of the museum left open which featured a sort of Rijksmuseum's greatest hits collection. So instead of lots of Rembrandt, Vermeer, etc. plus lots of works by Rembrandt's and Vermeer's many students/followers, there was only the best of Rembrandt, Vermeer, etc. plus only the best of Rembrandt's and Vermeer's many students/followers, in short, a limited but highly engaging collection which allowed one to linger over the selection on hand instead of zooming through in a vain effort to see as much as possible, as is the case with most museums with massive collections. I kind of liked the smaller but well chosen collection since one could all of it without feeling the need for speed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ralphpnj's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10827 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=98740 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
