Organisation

As a large museum, the Rijksmuseum naturally relies on a large organisation - it has an annual budget of approx. 40 million euro and a staff of more than 350. In 1995, the Rijksmuseum became an independent organisation and was reorganised as a Foundation run by a supervisory board of trustees. Each year the Rijksmuseum publishes an annual report. Besides the yearly government subsidy, the museum requires extra funds to finance its numerous activities. Money which is generated by ticket sales, hiring rooms and involving sponsors.

The Rijksmuseum board of directors comprises three persons:

• Director in Chief: drs. W.M.J. Pijbes
• Director of Collections: drs. T.D.W. Dibbits 
• Business Director: J.W. Sieburgh
