Rembrandt room on the 1st floor where breakthrough to eastern courtyard will be made, 1965 Canvas Print

In 1964 the renovation of this courtyard was started. Two floors were constructed, resting on prestressed concrete beams. As a result, unlike the installation of the Western courtyard, which opened in 1962, the layout of the space was not determined by the supports of a steel skeleton. All passageways to the courtyard were completed in 1965. On the upper floor, two rooms were made that were connected to the surrounding painting rooms. The remaining space was carried out as an exhibition space. The first floor remained a free space with a surrounding balcony for the benefit of the Department of Dutch History, which was opened together with the renovated surrounding rooms in October 1971. The ground floor was entirely intended for study collections of the Department of Paintings, Sculpture and Arts and Crafts and Dutch History. This part, as far as paintings and crafts are concerned, opened in 1974. In the photo you can see behind the right bench the temporary wall behind which the connection with the Eastern courtyard will be made. On the right hangs Self-Portrait as the Apostle Paul, in addition Portrait of a couple as Old Testament figures, called 'The Jewish Bride', both works by Rembrandt.
