Rijksmuseum begins years-long restoration of Rembrandt's ‘Night Watch’

Eight art conservators have begun a painstaking process to remove a layer of varnish from Rembrandt's giant "Night Watch" masterpiece to reveal its original depth and color.

The task, which could last years, began on Tuesday, November 12, at the national Rijksmuseum gallery in Amsterdam.

The next stage of "Operation Night Watch," the most extensive restoration of the artwork, also will help preserve the painting for future generations and repair any damage.
