About this experience
The Rijksmuseum boasts a globally esteemed collection that showcases some of the country’s most iconic artworks, including masterpieces by Rembrandt, Frans Hals, Van Gogh, and others. One highlight is Rembrandt’s ‘The Night Watch’, prominently displayed in a well-illuminated hall where visitors can appreciate every intricate detail.
Also worth pondering is 'The Jewish Bride', a painting that deeply moved Vincent van Gogh. After visiting the museum shortly after its opening, he expressed in a letter his willingness to sacrifice ten years of his life just to spend two weeks before this artwork, sustenance limited to only a stale piece of bread.
The Rijksmuseum's vast and inspiring collection features Delftware, sculptures, archaeological finds, clothing items, Asian art pieces, prints related to maritime history of the Netherlands among many other culturally significant artifacts—altogether bringing 800 years of Dutch heritage back into focus within an international framework.
