Project title
#NightWatchOnTour | Rijksmuseum
Description of initiative
In 2020, the Rijksmuseum designed a project for social purposes to celebrate the 414th birthday of Rembrandt, whose Night Round continues to be restored in front of the public. They performed the #NightWatchOnTour, in which they created a digital replica of the iconic Dutch work and took it to a nursing home in Amsterdam. With pandemic, this at-risk population is banned from leaving their homes. But if the users of the residence cannot access the museum due to health restrictions, the institution is concerned with bringing the culture to all those who need it.
