Amsterdam sees its paintings again.

Amsterdam sees its paintings again. Almost immediately after the liberation an exhibition 'Return of the masters' was organised in the Rijksmuseum. Schilderij van Louis Moritz, 1773 - 1850, Marcus Antonius op zijn doodsbed met Cleopatra. Eigendom van het Rijksmuseum. The pictures were taken from the place where they were garded when not on view. They protected against heat and cold. Nothing could happen to them. But they didn't spend much time in seclution especially after nobody has seen them for five years. Op 15 juli 1945, Rembrandts geboortedag, opent in het Rijksmuseum de tentoonstelling ‘Weerzien der Meesters’. Voor het eerst sinds vijf jaar zijn de nationale kunstschatten, waaronder zestien schilderijen van Rembrandt, weer te bewonderen. De tentoonstelling trekt in drie maanden ruim 166.000 bezoekers. Eindigt op 28 oktober.
