Both museums did installations, yes, but obviously a show then could not have encompassed the artist's entire career. (The BMA also did a show of the Arundel paintings, and there was the Corcoran/Walter Hopps show in the mid-70s too.)
If the Hirshhorn has been "gossipy" about possible destinations for the Truitt show and about why those places didn't take the show, it was not to me.
You may be looking at the wrong Rembrandt book/catalogue on Amazon. The NGA show (and accompanying catalogue) was not about attributions. Not sure if placing a link here works, but in case it does: http://www.nga.gov/past/data/exh841.shtm
