Although Project Night Watch kept me from the painting I really came to see, I had a wonderful afternoon revisiting and learning from some of the masters. I wasn't really prepared for how struck I was by Whistler's arrangement in grey and yellow. Nor did I expect such a rush of joy as I got in front of Vermeers and Rembrandts. The acoustics in the central halls and stairways is atrociously horrible, but once I had a quiet moment in the magical library I was over it.

The ticketing system worked just like it was supposed to. Clear format, easy payment, excellent electronic ticket delivery. Staff at museum were extremely helpful. Menu at cafe quite limited.
