Rijksmuseum

The Rijksmuseum is the national museum of the Netherlands, devoted to Dutch art and history from the Middle Ages to the present day. Housed in Pierre Cuypers's monumental building of 1885 on Amsterdam's Museumplein, it reopened in 2013 after a decade-long restoration.

The collection spans eight centuries and numbers around one million objects, of which some 8,000 are on display. Its Gallery of Honour holds the greatest concentration of Dutch Golden Age masterworks anywhere, with paintings by Rembrandt, Frans Hals, and Vermeer among them.
