The vignette (not the right word) at the end is very impressive though.

I, too, saw the picture in Amsterdam. The Rijk's was celebrating 500 years of "The Golden Age" and brought in Rembrandts, Vermeers, etc. from all over the world. It was pretty amazing.

People don't realize how HUGE Rembrandt's paintings were. "Night Watch" is something like 12 feet by 14 feet.

It's a great new trend in advertising: live "flash" performances. Even if ING did sponsor this performance promoting the re-opening of the Rijksmuseum. It gets a lot more attention than a print ad or a banner for a museum.

Remember this opera performance in a supermarket recently? It wasn't for a non-profit but for an Italian food brand, but it was just as great.
