Why does one usually go to Amsterdam? Perhaps, instead of drugs or sex, one major reason is to see Dutch Masters. How can one not be impressed by the collections at the Rijksmuseum? And, as much as we were "wowed" by Rembrandt, we REALLY liked Vermeer.
Above is the museum's main gallery from the west, past the accordion players and the Chinese singers. Top left is the view from the park, and below is a shot of the lovely gardens surrounding the museum. To the left are other views of the building. (I didn't realize I could have taken my digicam inside the museum! Duh!)
