Rijksmuseum Information

The Rijksmuseum is a Dutch national museum located on the Museumplein in Amsterdam. Originally founded in 1800 as the National Art Gallery, the museum’s main purpose was to exhibit collections of the Dutch stadtholders. It moved a number of times before finally being established in Amsterdam in 1808.

The museum is noted for carrying a large collection of masterpiece paintings from the Dutch Golden Age. In addition, there is a vast collection of classic prints and drawings, several antique Dutch cultural objects, and a substantial collection of Asian art at the Rijksmuseum.

The building also houses the Rijksmuseum Research Library, the best and largest public art history research library in the Netherlands.

The collection of paintings at the Rijksmuseum includes famed works by Jacob van Ruysdael, Frans Hals, Johannes Vermeer, Jan Steen, and Rembrandt.

Rijksmuseum User Reviews

cybil scott Apr 7, 2013 3.0 stars The Dutch Masters If you are a Rembrandt, Vermeer, Frans Hals, Ruisdael fan like myself, you will be in history buff heaven. If those names mean nothing to you, then you might consider the Van Gogh museum, or the red light district for tourist activities. If you like cool buildings its nice to stroll around in I suppose. This is the great collection and jewel of the Netherlands for the Dutch masters! And after many years of renovation, the others wings will finally be fully open later this month! Just in time for Queen's day! The last Queen's day that is....
Audrey Sykes Dec 9, 2012 3.0 stars Good for history buffs This is a massive museum, way bigger than Van Gogh or Amsterdam Historish, and it will take a while to get through it if you're big on the Dutch East India Company and Dutch history. If you're not very big on it than I guess it's just a nice building to walk around. Their relics are pretty impressive, and the Rembrandt collection holds the Nightwatch (not Night Guard) in a separate room all together. Beware that they take it up a few notches with Nightwatch on the corny level, but the museum overall has a classic beauty. It's been under renovation for ages, but now it's all opened up to the public. Walking around to Museumplein is a nice hangout spot afterwards.
Craig Becker Dec 9, 2012 2.0 stars Great collection but not much variety I would say that overall this was a great museum--expertly laid out, solid information, and very reasonably priced (especially since I had purchased a museumkaart)--but most of the art itself just wasn't really my cup of tea, if only for the reason that it all seemed to be much the same. The first room, which contained some very intricate models of Dutch naval ships, set me up to be very impressed with a scale and diversity of artwork that simply wasn't all there. There's a pretty interesting collection of Delftware and Delft-influenced Asian art, but the majority of the museum felt like portrait after portrait of wealthy Dutch noble families and businessmen in the same Golden Age style. It's well done, certainly, and not unpleasant to look at, but it all ran together after the first few portraits. There is of course the classic "The Night Guard," a massive painting that is given (and easily fills) a room of its own, and it is definitely worth checking out "The Milkmaid," but my favorite piece was probably the tapestry right after the gift shop, simply because it stood out as different from everything else. But if you're looking for greater variety, then the Stedelijk is only a stone's throw away and has enough modern art to spend a whole day perusing.
Jody Pollara Dec 3, 2012 3.0 stars Huge Museum, worth a look I believe this is essentially the state museum of the Netherlands. It is huge and has tons and tons of amazing artwork. You could easily spend all day here if you are a lover of artwork. The museum has a lot in their permanent collections - mostly Dutch artists and, most notably, Rembrandt. The museum is really Dutch-centric and then, oddly enough, has a huge asian art collection. They are apparently really well-known for their research library and reading rooms, but I did not stop in to see those during my visit. Overall, it is a beautiful museum, one of the best that I saw in Amsterdam.
