During the Christmas holidays, it's wintertime at the Rijksmuseum. Put on your hat, wrap up your scarf and come along for a day full of winter fun. Take part in creative activities or explore the galleries together.

Your own winter story begins in the Great Hall, where you can use special paint to make a card about your favourite work of art and post it straight away. In the Picnic Room, a world of miniature wonders awaits, from centuries-old doll's houses to the cosy Mouse Houses of Sam and Julia. Or work as a team during the Family Game, in which you unravel eight special secrets of the Rijksmuseum!
