The Rijksmuseum, an independent foundation

The Rijksmuseum is the national museum in the Netherlands, but it is not a government institution. It is an independent foundation that is responsible for approximately half of the proceeds on its own. The Rijksmuseum would not even exist in its current incarnation without the help of private individuals and businesses. World-renown masterpieces such as Rembrandt’s The Jewish Bride and Vermeer’s The Little Street were acquired through donations.
