Insider Moment: Discover a Long-Lost Rembrandt

Thursday, September 2, 12:00 pm

Hamilton Building, Level 1

Join Timothy Standring, Gates Foundation Curator of Painting and Sculpture, in welcoming a special “guest of honor” to the DAM: a long-lost self-portrait by Rembrandt Harmensz van Rijn known as Rembrandt Laughing.

Standring will share the painting's remarkable story—from its creation in 1628 by a 22-year-old Rembrandt, through its long period of hiding, to its rediscovery at an auction and subsequent journey to the DAM.

Free with general admission. No reservations needed.

Meet on level one of the Hamilton Building, near the elevators.
