,, We today are increasingly surrounded by screens, mobile phones and media, ” said the Rijksmuseum. ,, Visitor information is therefore often perceived as passive and superficial. By signing the Rijksmuseum wants visitors the beauty of art and history again and especially better discover and appreciate. “” Director Wim Pijbes of the museum said that visitors were pleasantly surprised by the character activities. ,, And it was a beautiful sight so many people together to see with so much fun to draw. ”
Here and there in the museum people were sitting on the ground with sketchbooks on his lap to the works masters, including Rembrandt’s Night Watch, to draw. At a public drawing lessons from Sigfried Woldhek were 330 interested and there is a drawing of a kilometer long. The weekend was part of the international sign festival The Big Draw.
