Rembrandt’s Birthday
Did you know that today, July 15, is Rembrandt’s birthday. If he were alive today he would be 407 years old. In honor of this celebrated Dutch artist visit your local art museum today.
Portland has a wonderful art museum located in the heart of the city. The current exhibit is Shangaa: Art of Tanzania. A little far removed from the works of Rembrandt but fascinating I’m sure.
If you are close to the Boston area a visit to the Museum of Fine Arts is a must. I spent many weekends in college just wandering this beautiful museum. It didn’t hurt a poor college student that it was free to get in either! My favorite part was the French Impressionists. Did you know that at one point the MFA had the largest collection of work by Monet outside of Paris. Who is your favorite artist?
