Families and children

Explore the museum together

A castle-like building with 8,000 treasures – from an airplane to a dollhouse, the world-famous Night Watch, and hundreds of weapons and ship models. The Rijksmuseum is full of exciting stories waiting to be discovered together. There’s always something to do. Are you coming? Admission is free for everyone up to 18 years old.

Step into Rembrandt’s mind during the Rijksmuseum Expedition, unravel mysterious secrets with the family game, or go on a mouse hunt with Pim & Pom. Explore the collection together on a fun family day out. With workshops, interactive tours, and theatre, there’s something to enjoy for all ages.
