Where's The Real Pearl Girl?
You've read the book and seen the movie, but where do you go if you want to see the original The Girl with a Pearl Earring, the Johannes Vermeer painting that inspired both? Art enthusiasts can go to www. cacr.caltech.edu/~roy/vermeer, where Caltech professor Roy Williams has gathered a wealth of information about the artist, including a clickable map of the worldwide locations of all 34 viewable Vermeer paintings. To see The Girl with a Pearl Earring, you will have to travel to the Netherlands.
