New Vermeer at the Rijksmuseum! The painting "Girl Holding a Balance" is showing only until June of this year, which leaves not a whole lot of time to see it. The painting is on loan from the National Museum of Art in Washington, DC.

What is more cool is not just that such a special painting is on display here in Amsterdam, but that Vermeer didn't do that many paintings, and during these next 4 months, the Rijksmuseum will be showing 5 of them under the same roof! (among them: The Milkmaid and The Woman Reading a Letter)

Which might leave you wondering, how many works by Vermeer are out there? Answer: 34.
