ING asked us to tell the Netherlands that the Rijksmuseum is reopening.
ING is the main sponsor of the Rijksmuseum.
After ten years, the paintings are back.
To illustrate this, we're bringing the Night Watch back, today.
They were the civic guard, today's police.
So, a crook has taken something from the shopping centre.
He gets chased by the gentlemen of the Night Watch in a kind of pursuit.
In the end, they form the Night Watch.
Do you see the shadow of his hand? Well, it's holding the Dutch Lion.
An embroidered lion, too small to see properly but that's the symbolism of it.
The defender of the city and the Dutch Lion.
It's sensational but it has an artistic value and it refers to that period.
And Rembrandt's work. Can you look a bit tougher?
Who's he? I see. Yes, I understand but...
he's not wearing purple, is he? -The colours have faded with time.
A bit of artistic freedom, we shall say.
The look in her eyes is important. -I'm in charge of the clothing.
I want to express her whole character. I realise we all have our area of expertise.
But I'm pulling it together. What’s your expression going to be later?
This character doesn't belong in a painting of a civic guard.
It's one of those things that makes the painting so interesting. Excuse me.
Hi, huge fan. Isn't it great?
The famous Arquebusiers' powder horn which the little boys fetched for them.
They filled their muskets with this. Guys, are we using this?
The drummer is missing. Where is the drum?
We’re going to start. Don’t you need to change? Aren't you the drummer?
Voila, the drummer. I do see some reggae colours.
Can we have a different drum?
Five minute call for horsemen. Five minute call for entrance one.
Today we have an event action which is held in the public space.
It's unique and we must be careful because of all the stunts.
Great to see that world come to life. Ruytenburg with CH.
Do you know your role or who you were? That'll do.
Action, horses.
I think it went well.
I heard applause and the Night Watch and the heroes are back.
It went very well, we're relieved and satisfied. It was exciting.
I paid close attention and made a few small adjustments.
It’s beautiful that all went well and people came to me saying…
well done and thank you for the gloves and things like that.
It looks great and I'm happy with the result.
