The current Vermeer exhibition in the Louvre is record breaking. 9000 visitors on the first day. People waited for hours to get in. Now for the first time in the museum's history, the Louvre will make use of "time slots", to reduce the waiting.

Good review here:

Perhaps not typically "art", but these photos by painter and photographer Breitner are at least a nice impression of Amsterdam in the 1890s and 1900s.

Fantastic. I've seen a few streets that still look similar to the second pic.

Yeah, lots of canals/streets didn't change (that much) indeed.

Discovery of the last location, the exact spot, Van Gogh painted, a few hours before he died. You can turn on English subtitles.

I like surrealism: Dali and Magritte are among my favorite painters.
