Leo at Queen Beatrix visit - Dordrecht - Holland - 3 February 2001
Queen Beatrix of The
Netherlands
on Saturday morning 3 February 2001 opened the exhibition
Greek Gods & Heroes in the era of
Rubens & Rembrandt
in the Dordrecht Museum.
It was a very
special exhibition, because most of these works
of the 16th and 17th century never had been showed before in
Holland.
The Dordrecht Museum welcomed 55.000 visitors.
The Queen was
welcomed at the historical Augustijnenkerk in Dordrecht.
After some speeches she walked to the museum.
On the route
hundreds of people waited hours in the rain to catch a glimp of
her.
There also were some historical plays on the route.
Like on the above photo made in the Museumstraat.
On the right you
can see Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands (with flowers)
with Mayor Ronald Bandell of Dordrecht (with chain) behind her.
You can
see the blue microphone almost in the middle of the photo
with me in a light grey jacket behind the (security)man in the
raincoat.
I made a report about this national news on Radio Rijnmond.
