ADFAS Brisbane Extra Lecture: The Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam

ADFAS Brisbane is delighted to offer our members a special extra lecture presented by Dr. Sophie Oosterwijk. This lecture offers an introduction to the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam: the collection, the building, its history and the 10-year renovation (2003-13) that brought back the splendour of architect Pierre Cuypers' original neo-gothic decorations.
The collection of the Rijksmuseum includes works by Hals, Rembrandt, Vermeer and Van Gogh as well as medieval art, jewellery, musical instruments, Asian art and even an FK 23 Bantam plane from 1918. It also has Rembrandt's famous Night Watch – but only on loan! All this and much more will be revealed about the most famous museum in the Netherlands.
Visitors are welcome.
Date: Thursday 21st August
Time: 12 to 1:10pm
Place: State Library of Queensland, Auditorium 1
Cost of extra lecture: $40.00 each for members and visitors
