Amsterdam 2

Amsterdam has two of the great museums of the world- the Rijks Museum and the Van Gogh museum. Rijks was under construction, so much to Daniel's liking :-) there was only a "highlights of the museum" exhibit which lasted about 12 galleries rather than the 300+galleries that are normally open. But really it was just what I wanted to see so it worked out great for both of us. There were 5/12 vermeer's on display and the super famous Rembrandt's like his self portrait and Night Watch.

The Van Gogh museum was pretty unbelievable. So many galleries full of Van Gogh- the famous paintings, the unseen paintings, and some amazing surprises. They did not allow pictures in the museum, so that was disappointing so I took a picture of the sign as my memory of the museum, and of course got a lot of souvenirs in the gift shop.
