About

The figure within Rembrandt's painting, its eyes seeming to gaze back at the visitor, still lives on within the flow of time. Johannes Vermeer's light flows softly through the darkness, and the light touching the fingertips of a woman within the painting feels almost as if it approaches reality itself. The figures within Frans Hals's canvases capture the viewer's heart with expressions full of vitality. The museum's space holds a stillness as if steeped in the breath of long history and art, and the journey into the world within these paintings lets you miss not a single moment. Beyond the boundary between darkness and light within Rembrandt's paintings, the true emotion conveyed by art remains here, preserved intact.
