The Rjksmuseum knows how to announce a re-opening. I wish I were one of the shoppers who're flailing, scrambling around, and going "What the hell's happening? I'm only here for a pair of socks!"

And they even have the chicken! Glory!

One of my obsessions: living paintings. Caravaggio's art lends itself really well to these, especially if done in dark and dramatically lit surroundings. This video was shot in the day with lots of natural light, but that doesn't make it any less amazing.

It's also fun identifying the paintings and going full art nerd.
