Dutch Masters at the PEM

I love it when the Peabody Essex Museum opens a new exhibit. It always causes a media explosion!  The new exhibit, Golden: Dutch and Flemish Masterworks from the Rose-Marie and Eijk Van Otterloo Collection is no exception!

This exhibit is on display through June 19, 2011.  While I cannot extend to you personal invitations from Rembrandt, Frans Hals, Jacob von Ruisdael and Jan Brueghel the Elder, I can share with you the glowing reviews of the show that have been published over the past few days.

• Financial Times: At home with the greats
  
• The Boston Globe: Masterworks that amuse and amaze
