Downtown Amsterdam
You’ll find the Rijksmuseum on the Museumplein in downtown Amsterdam. Close to the city’s historic canals and shops and just 20 minutes’ walk from the Anne Frank house. Mix city buzz with chill time at the Rijks.
Familiar faces
What makes the Rijksmuseum one of the world’s most famous museums is the fame of the masterpieces in its collection. Like The Milkmaid by Vermeer, Self-portrait by Van Gogh, The Merry Family by Jan Steen and Rembrandt’s Night Watch. But so many other pieces in the collection could take you by surprise and capture your imagination. Like Breitner’s Girl in a White Kimono and the Asian Pavilion. No matter how old you are, or where you’re from, you’ll discover something new at the Rijksmuseum.
Absolutely beautiful. The art, the grounds and the audio tour are wonderful. If you're in Amsterdam, don't miss this

See and do
There’s something for everyone at the Rijksmuseum. From guided tours to family games, workshops and theatre programmes. If you’re visiting for the first time, how about taking The best of the Rijksmuseum tour? During school holidays, we arrange special activities for young people, like an Escape Game.
The Rijksmuseum is using the very latest technology to research and treat the Night Watch. Because Rembrandt’s masterpiece is the most prominent painting in the Gallery of Honour, we’ve chosen to restore it right there on site. Not behind closed doors, but in the Night Watch gallery for all to see. Visitors can watch the researchers at work live. In the museum or online. We call it Operation Night Watch.
