Closed for 10 years for a $489 million refurbishment, Amsterdam's Rijksmuseum -- the national museum of arts and history founded in 1800 -- has emerged transformed and resplendent.

To mark the reopening, the museum surprised visitors at a shopping center in Breda with a flashmob under the banner ‘Onze Helden Zijn Terug’ (Our heroes are back) and brought its most famous work, Rembrandt’s masterpiece ‘Night Watch’ back to life.

The campaign’s slogan ‘Our Heroes are Back’ alludes to famous artwork returning to Rijksmuseum’s collection.
