Museum starts ‘live’ restoration of Rembrandt masterpiece
Amsterdam’s famed Rijksmuseum was yesterday set to begin a historic restoration of Rembrandt’s “The Night Watch”, erecting a huge glass cage around the painting so the public can see the work carried out live.
The multi-million-euro makeover of the giant 1642 masterpiece, the survivor of a difficult history including several acts of vandalism, will also be streamed online so that people around the globe can see it.
