Learn more about the Rijksmuseum's many treasures with a special multimedia guide. Enjoy videos and images that give you more insight into the secrets and stories of some of the museum's top artworks, as well as several timed and themed tours of the world-famous collection.
Flas your Rijksmuseum tickets and get up close to some of the world's most famous paintings (including Rembrandt's Night Watch), and lots more work from the Dutch Golden Age. The Rijksmuseum collection spans over 800 years of art history in a beautifully restored building. Located smack-dab in the heart of Amsterdam's Museumplein, the Rijks is an Amsterdam must-see.
The national museum of the Netherlands underwent a ten-year renovation between 2003 and 2013. It's come out looking great – airy, bright and inviting. Plus, it's filled with more paintings and objets d'art than you can possibly absorb in an afternoon's ramble. Still, it's fun to give it a try.
The highlight is Rembrandt's Night Watch, one of the museum's most famous (and largest!) paintings. Vermeer's The Milkmaid is another classic to be viewed here, and there are many other lesser-known, but equally intriguing works of art that provide a window into life in another time.
Another spectacular – though underrated – section of the museum is the collection of weapons and ship models, with its exotic, ornate and even combat-used weapons.
These Rijksmuseum tickets do not include the excellent multimedia tour, but download the app straight to your smartphone and you'll have it all ready for your visit. Check it out on the App Store or Google Play!
RIJKS®, this busy museum's Michelin-starred restaurant, is one of the best in the city. It's open for lunch and dinner and, if the weather cooperates, the terrace is a lovely place to eat and relax.
