The wildly popular #Breugel exhibition at the #Kunsthistorischesmuseum. Some great touches in the display of the engravings (for example) that allows visitors to get really face-to-face with the fine detail of the work, perfect height for 5'4" me, but would make them inaccessible to wheelchair users. The sheer number of people made the visit a little trying at times, despite time slots… Especially the number of guided tours; in only six rooms there must have been 7 or 8 groups of 15 people. But the selection of works on display was truly impressive, including the display of 4 of series of 6 seasonal paintings (1 is lost, 1 remains in New York), shown together for the first time in 350 years. The exhibition has been advertised as “once in a lifetime”, and that’s a fitting description, but go early.
