“Are you keeping watch tonight?” XSAGA created an experience designed for one person—yet made to be talked about by millions.

This personal experience was captured on video and viewed by 31 million people within three days. The case went on to win virtually every major communications award, reinforcing the Rijksmuseum’s promise that it continues to surprise audiences at all times.

The result: 41 articles in the national press, an appearance on RTL Late Night, and 36 international publications, including The New York Times, The Huffington Post, The Observer, and Le Parisien.
