Recently there has been an exibition, actually dealing with Vermeer  
using the Camera Obscura for his paintings. A camera obscura was  
rebuilt and explained together with his paintings. It was done by  
Thijn van de Ven, photographer at the Valkhof museum in Nijmegen. The  
show was in Culemborg and it was titled 'The Music lesson'.
