About
Raske fakta: Walking through the museum's halls feels like stepping into a masterclass of Dutch art, featuring iconic works that have shaped European culture. The grand building itself is a blend of Gothic and Renaissance styles, housing over one million objects that cover an eclectic range of history and art.
Høydepunkter: One quirky tradition in the museum involves a hidden gallery in the library where staff secretly paint whimsical scenes over the centuries-old book shelves. Also, there are exactly 8,000 objects in the collection, but only 1,200 are on display, each room scented subtly with different aromas to enhance the experience, like chocolate near the Dutch Golden Age paintings.
Insider tips
- Book a timed ticket and head straight to the Night Watch room on arrival to see Rembrandt before the crowds swell.
- Wear comfortable shoes and plan for stairs, galleries are spread over several floors and corridors can be long.
- Download the Rijksmuseum app before you go for short themed tours and room-by-room commentary.
- Take a break in the inner garden and the top-floor 18th-century galleries for quieter photo spots and better light.
