On Sunday, August 31, we’ll transform the museum gardens into a vibrant space for making, learning and connecting. Join workshops, take part in guided tours, and be inspired by the sculptures of Isamu Noguchi.

Gardens have been a source of inspiration for centuries. They invite you to look closer, wander freely, and create. We bring that spirit to life during the Rijksmuseum Creative Garden: a vibrant day full of workshops, tours, and inspiring encounters, all set in a hidden green oasis in the heart of the city.
