Rembrandt, National Print Museum & Number 29

It's Sunday! And Sunday is tourist day!

RembrandtFirst Stop = The National Gallery of Ireland to see their newest exhibition, Northern Nocturnes: Nightscapes in the Age of Rembrandt. Coolest part of the exhibit: it was held in dim light with spotlights on all the paintings to intensify the artists' use of light in the painting.


Second Stop = National Print Museum! This old soldiers chapel was recently converted into a museum/storehouse for antique printing presses. No Gutenberg press:(




Third Stop = Number 29, an exhibition of home life in Georgian Dublin (1790-1820). Very fancy shamancy! I think every house needs a drawing room. ((No cameras allowed on tour, very top secret.))

OK, back to learning HTML! Go School!
