Couleur Locale - Rembrandt in Höxter

Characteristic for the place you live in, is the news you can find in the local news papers. Also, the effects and consequences of decisions in the big world, are seldom covered by the major news producers. If you want to know more about that, local news is where you should be looking. So, I figured it might be a nice idea to start writing something about the events on local level, something about the region around Warburg we live in. I hope I can create a nice link between the big world and the small world. I will call it "Couleur Locale". I hope you like it.

The first article - Rembrandt in Höxter
This year, it is 400 years ago since the birth of Rembrandt. In the Netherlands, the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam is, of course, celebrating this occasion with several exhibitions on the 17th century artist.

Also here, the 400th anniversary of Rembrandt will not pass unnoticed. Between 1. April and 25. June, Schloss Corvey in the city of Höxter, is presenting a collection of 120 etches by Rembrandt. The exhibition shows works of the master that span his enire artistic career. All etches were borrowed from the Kupferstichkabinett in Berlin. An interesting exhibition, I think. Different from te big ones in Amsterdam, of course, but for that, the entrance fee is also considerably lower (€4,50 i.s.o €25,-). Who wants to join me ... perhaps I should make a business out of it, and offer combination-ticket-trips, including visits to Amsterdam and Höxter.
