The Night Watch by Rembrandt

This is a huge piece and it hangs in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam. It's 11.9 ft x 14.4 ft. and it was actually cut down in size at one point. The thing is huge and hangs in the most prominent place in the museum at the end of the great hall. I'd say it gets most of the attention there. The museum itself is huge!

I've seen The Night Watch in real life and it really is big! I loved visiting Riksmuseum. Besides the Golden Age paintings the Medieval exhibition is also impressive.

There was a huge Rembrandt exhibit called "All the Rembrandts with all the works collected together.. except for Night Watch, which still hangs in it's main hall.

We also went to the Van Gogh museum.. it was incredible!
