The Rijksmuseum will also be celebrating the 400th anniversary of Rembrandt van Rijn’s birth in 2006 and will be exhibiting its entire collection of his paintings and drawings throughout the year, including Rembrandt’s most famous painting, 'The Night Watch'. www.rijksmuseum.nl

It is well known that Vincent van Gogh (1853-1890) was inspired by his great predecessor, Rembrandt van Rijn. This influence will be the subject of a special display in the print room of the exhibition wing. www.vangoghmuseum.nl
