Launching our Rembrandt site

Welcome to Rembrandt and Collections of his Art in America, a National Endowment for the Humanities project. Please explore our website to learn about Rembrandt, his art and times. If you are a middle or high school teacher, you will find resources for using our site with your students. You do not need to be a teacher, though, to join us. Whoever you are, welcome!

The project team designed a site to offer triggers for engagement and invitations to engage. You might wish to explore the site and engage in activities yourself or with others. Products related to the site may be hung in our gallery. Perhaps you create writings, images, videos, podcasts, websites. We will archive suitable submissions in an accessible online database and periodically highlight some. And... you may wish to join in through in-person or online conversations, video conferences and events. These will be announced here and on our website. And... you may wish to respond to this blog. Feel free to comment on the various blog entries and suggest blog entries. We will select some and include them, with your name and affiliation, if you wish.

As we launch our site, it will come alive as you enter its space and contribute! Welcome!
