The New Rijksmuseum - The Film 2014

How does a major world heritage site reinvent itself? With a decade of closure, reengineering, redecorating, collecting and debating and a half billion dollar budget. Hoogendijk's documentary brings forth both the expected personages – curators, architects and others - and the unexpected but quintessentially Dutch elements of the debate - who would have thought that a museum would stop for cyclists? Amid the glories of Rembrandt, Vermeer and so many other artists, there are many other tales to learn as well.
