Of course, there is that other option ... so close to Rotterdam, and th
Kunsthal there ... why don't you just go to the Van Meegeran show instead.
This might be the first time in a while that the vermeers are and will be
together like that, but if I am guessing correctly this is the only time the
Van Meegerans will be so. If oyu do go, enter from the back way and only
look at the first room ... the rest is fairly schlockily put together by an
institution that wants to make it clear that Meegeran was not a good
painter ...
