To-day I visited (last Saturday too) the Frans Hals Museum at its exact 100 th anniversary. The entrance fee was 100 cents, lovely (we are Dutch) ! It was great to see the paintings of Frans Hals, Rembrandt, Rubens and Titiaan together. There were not many visitors, so it was possible to quietly draw and sketch. After that: a visit and wine in café De Blauwe Druif (café Malle Babbe), the oldest pub in Haarlem. Going home on my e-bike I dropped in at the local radiostation Haarlem 105, where I could speak in the microphone directly to the listeners and ask for the song of Matt Monroe for my Russian friends: 'From Russia with love'. The celebration of Nederland - Rusland 400 years is a fascinating item!
