Swedish Rubens paintings loaned to Munich in exchange for 20 masterpieces
In a one-off exchange this fall, two of Sweden's largest and most famous baroque paintings have been taken to Munich to star in a major exhibition of works by Rubens, the 17th-century Flemish master. In return, Nationalmuseum will receive 20 spectacular paintings next spring. These will go on show alongside other works in Nationalmuseum's Rubens & Van Dyck exhibition, opening 25 February 2010.
