Amsterdam's Rijksmuseum, home to Dutch masterpieces like Rembrandt's Nightwatch, will temporarily have its walls and windows overrun by 700 giant ants, as part of a new exhibit.

By breaking artwork conventions, House Taken, by Colombian artist Rafael Gomezbarros, wants to draw attention to migration and forced displacement.
