Rijk's Museum
The Rijk Museum is a big museum in Amsterdam pretty much dedicated to Dutch artists. I was not all that impressed with it, but then again I'm not all that into art in the first place. They had some painting that looked amazingly like photographs, I thought that was pretty good for still life painting. The rest were mainly portraits and didn't really understand that until Tony explained that back then artists did it for a living instead of mainly for expressionary purposes. I was nice to be able to look at a painting and actually understand what was going on instead of having to figure it out, but then again I guess that's half the fun. Two things I didn't know was that Rembrandt was Dutch and that all those white plates with blue painting were Dutch (I guess I need to get a little more cultured, and this trip really helped that). Unfortunately we couldn't take pictures in the Van Gough Museum so this was the best I could do for Dutch art.
