Visitors looking at Rembrandt's "The Night Watch" at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam. It's in the process of being restored, protected by a soundproof glass enclosure to avoid disturbing the restorers, who work on the powered gantry visible inside. One of the docents provided a lot of great background on the processes they're using.

A picture of visitors to the Rijksmuseum looking at Rembrandt's "The Night Watch", protected by soundproof glass with a gantry for restorers to work on the painting. The reflection of the stained glass windows in the grand entrance is visible on the glass, and patches are visible on the painting where the varnish has been stripped as part of the restoration process.
