The North Carolina Museum of Art is attempting to feature an exhibit in October 2011 that contains more authentic Rembrandt paintings than any American museum.

Located in Raleigh, N.C., the museum is borrowing Rembrandt pieces from nearly two dozen museums across the United States, such as the National Gallery of Art in Washington and the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. The total value of the exhibit is undisclosed, but according to museum officials, it will “exceed anything the museum has put together before, including blockbuster exhibitions of Picasso, Matisse Monet and Rodin.”
