Christmas Holiday

Come and explore together

Winter has come to the Rijksmuseum this Christmas holiday. So put on your woolly hat and scarf and let’s get moving to stay warm!

Get inspired by the stained glass in the Great Hall, where you can make winter decorations to hang in your window or tree at home. Go to the Picnic Room to paint a very special picture postcard – and post it right away! And why not join Expedition Rijksmuseum and travel all the way to ice-c-c-cold Novaya Zemlya? There are all sorts of things to do throughout the museum.

For children aged 3 to 6

Come along and make your own Christmas card, and join our theatrical guided tour Best Gift Ever. Or perhaps you’d rather have an adventure with the cat detectives Pim & Pom. Just give them a stroke and they’ll tell you where to find the mouse that disappeared!

See-Through Art

For children aged 6 to 12

Would you like to make a winter landscape together... or would you rather become a museum researcher? Looking for something even more adventurous? Then take your whole family on an expedition to the theatres in the museum!
