Why visit

Rijksmuseum is a museum in Amsterdam where the visit centres on collections, displays and interpretation connected with its subject and setting. It works well as a focused cultural stop because the experience is largely contained within one institution while still linking to the character of the surrounding city. Time can be spent moving through the principal galleries, looking closely at individual objects and noticing how the building contributes to the visit. Temporary displays, access arrangements and admission conditions can change, so current information should be checked before travel.

What you will see
