Sunday afternoon we went to a museum, the National Gallery of Art. Most of the large musea in Washington DC are located close to each other, near the Capitol and the White House. It's a beautiful place, and the weather Sunday was very nice.

We visited an exhibition on Gerard ter Borch. Rosa told us about this temporary exhibition about the Dutch painter. Ter Borch made quite some famous paintings, such as Signing of the Peace of Munster, and he inspired many other great names, such as Vermeer.

Entrance of the museum.

We asked at least three times if it was really okay to take a picture with flash until we dared to do this. I guess they have a protective element in the glass to prevent damage to the picture because of flash lights.

The picture on the background is a painting by Gerrit Berckheyde of the Grote Kerk in Haarlem; I used it on my website about a year ago.
