My general rule of thumb is if I want something from a company, I contact the company. If a company contacts me, they want something from me. I would not engage with a company that contacts me without my asking them to.

That’s definitely the place, I’m terrible with pronouncing Dutch names so I couldn’t say it. I’m wondering if maybe there was a front entrance that was under repair or something because I entered from an alley and the entrance was below street level, I went down a ramp. And there wasn’t a sign that I noticed.

If you’ve only seen photos of these great works and then completely by surprise you see the real thing up close. It’ll hit you pretty hard.

I had been in Amsterdam days prior and was awed by Van Gough and Rembrandt but I knew they were coming so I wasn’t bowled over like I was in The Hague.

I was wandering around The Hague and went down an alleyway where I saw a bunch of Japanese tourists lined up at a door. There was no sign but I figured it was a museum and followed them inside where it was confirmed that I was entering a museum. I poked around from room to room till I came upon a room that had a Vermeer on each wall. Fortunately there was a round seat in the center of the room so I could sit as I was about to pass out. It was wonderful!
