Anna’s knowledge and insight into the paintings she showed us gave us such an appreciation of these works. We thoroughly enjoyed our time with her.

The tour guide seemed great, but after the tour, we checked a few things we were told and realized the guide told us some wrong information about the night watch: told us the painting was cut due to vandalism (when it was because it was to accommodate the new location where it was going to be moved to); told us Rembrandt sabotaged his career with the painting (when most of the evidence including the request for the small replica suggested it was a success); told us Rembrandt’s painting was making fun of the night watch (when it hasn’t generally been interpreted as such). Now we don’t know what else we learned about this or other paintings were wrong.
