Closer to Johannes Vermeer

Ahead of the major Vermeer exhibition this spring, the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam launched an extraordinary online adventure narrated by Stephen Fry (English) and Joy Delima (Dutch).

In this presentation, Peter Gorgels takes us on a deep dive into this Vermeer online exhibition: what is the concept, how was it made, where they pushed the boundaries, and what role it played in relation to the physical exhibition. And finally, what are the results?
