Includes the first time the newly restored Girl Reading a Letter at the Open Window will be displayed.

“Even Vermeer probably never saw this many of his paintings together” – Pieter Roelofs, head of paintings and sculpture for Rijksmuseum
“There will never be another Vermeer show as great as this one” – Washington Post
