BOSTON - Boston's art scene is getting a Dutch treat with a twist: a flurry of donated 17th-century masterpieces that experts say will change the city's museum landscape for decades to come.
First, collectors gifted the Museum of Fine Arts with 113 leading Golden Age masterpieces - including a prized Rembrandt portrait and works by Rubens and Brueghel - and established a new center dedicated to the study of Dutch and Flemish art.
Now, the Harvard Art Museums have been bequeathed 330 drawings dating back to the 1600s.
