Vermeer's Women 2

Back in September I previewed the Fitzwilliam Museum's exhibition Vermeer's Women: Secrets and Silence (CLICK), which brought Vermeer's The Lacemaker (c.1669-70) to the UK for the first time, on loan from the Musée du Louvre, Paris. The exhibition closed on 15 January and proved to be the Fitzwilliam's most successful show ever, attracting well over 150,000 visitors. The final Saturday brought in a record 6,000 visitors. Critics, scholars and the public loved the show, which it is claimed has set a new standard for exhibitions outside London (CLICK). The title link takes you to the museum's website to see what else it has to offer.
