Amsterdam - Paris
This is the story of a dutch couple, Marten Soolmans and Oopjen Coppit.
Painted in 1634 by Rembrandt, Oopjen is considered as the "Dutch Mona Lisa".
They stayed hidden from the public until 2015, the year that they became the property of both France and the Netherlands.
After a long restoration process, experts from the Dutch Rijksmuseum and the French Louvre found out that those two paintings have been originally one piece of art !
On March 8th 2018, The Rijksmuseum made Marten & Oopjen come to live during a astonishing event to present their new exhibition "High society" (See the video opposite)
One decision has been made : to never separate the couple ever again. They will always travel together between Paris and Amsterdam, thus celebrating the close friendship between our two countries.
