TCDP TOP PICK | "Rembrandt in America" at the Minneapolis Institute of Arts

Rembrandt in America provides an invaluable opportunity to take measure of the master’s work through up-close encounters with many of his greatest paintings. If you already know Rembrandt, this exhibit is essential. If you’re just getting to know the Dutchman, pack a little patience and take the audio tour. Try to visit when the exhibit is relatively uncrowded, so you can look and think without bumping too many elbows. Then go home, read the catalog, and visit the exhibit again. - Jay Gabler

Experience a nation's passion for paintings by Rembrandt and his followers. And witness the trajectory of this 17th-century Dutch master, from brash young artist to timeless observer of humanity. In addition to undisputed masterpieces by the artist's hand, you'll see portraits once attributed to Rembrandt, and find out why they no longer are believed to bear his mark.
