About Rijksmuseum online discount ticket
Visit the Rijksmuseum and discover its vast collections of paintings, drawings, and historical artifacts. Marvel at Rembrandt's famous "Night Watch" and paintings by Vincent van Gogh, alongside numerous other masterpieces in the Gallery of Honour! The Rijksmuseum is a must-see in Amsterdam, not just because it's a museum: it's a significant part of both European and world history.
The Rijksmuseum is the most important national museum in the Netherlands! It holds precious items and paintings dating from medieval to modern times. Its extensive collections are divided into comprehensive sections with interactive elements that engage visitors.
The largest hall of the Rijksmuseum is dedicated to masterpieces instantly recognizable and admired across the globe. Famous paintings on display include "The Night Watch", "The Threatened Swan", "The Merry Drinker", and many others!
Within the Rijksmuseum, there are more than 20 Rembrandt paintings on permanent display, including "The Jewish Bride", "The Syndics", "The Anatomy Lesson of Dr. Nicolaes Tulp", as well as his self-portraits!
Paintings are not the only thing on display at the Rijksmuseum, as they also host impressive collections featuring musical instruments, miniature silverwork, precious stones and jewelry, weapons and armor, glassware, porcelain pieces, and historical costumes, just to name some!
Apart from amazing collections of ship models and incredibly detailed doll houses, the Rijksmuseum has an entire section just for kids - Rijksmuseum Junior. It features treasure hunts, interactive exhibits, and workshops!
The Rijksmuseum prides itself on being a place that everyone can enjoy. It's wheelchair accessible and also caters to people with other impairments. There are tactile tours for the visually impaired, sign language tours, as well as sensory maps and quiet rooms for visitors with cognitive disabilities.
Standing in front of the paintings in the Gallery of Honour felt incredible! I've seen them before in magazines and documentaries, but seeing them in person was an entirely different experience. I was especially glad to see Rembrandt's "The Syndics" because of the incredible realism and the way the figures seem to look directly at you. After visiting the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, I realized that European art would be much poorer without the Dutch masters.
I came to see Van Gogh, Rembrandt, Frans Hals, and the rest of the famous painters, but something else entirely captured my attention-the doll houses! They are so incredibly beautiful it left me speechless, and I spent a good hour just looking at them. All the furniture is made to scale, and they used authentic materials for everything, even the tiny porcelain tea sets! I learned that each dollhouse was worth as much as a real house! I highly recommend booking the Rijksmuseum entrance ticket just to see these spectacular doll houses!

YOUR ENTRANCE TO THE RIJKSMUSEUM
As you enter the Rijksmuseum, you will first pass through the 'Grote Hal', or the Great Hall. This impressive entrance features high ceilings, a grand staircase, and is decorated by many architectural details. From there, you can immediately go to the Gallery of Honour, or you can save it for later and choose to visit other collections first. The Rijksmuseum is spread over four floors, and the exhibits are presented in chronological order. The main focus of the permanent exhibition is on the paintings from the Dutch Golden Age of the 16th and 17th centuries.
GALLERY OF HONOUR: A SANCTUARY OF MASTERPIECES
Here you will find the must-see masterpieces by the painters of the Dutch Golden Age. The 17th century was a time of great prosperity in the Netherlands, and the rich merchants liked to show off their wealth by investing heavily in art, especially their portraits! In the side alcoves of the Gallery of Honour you will find paintings such as "Portrait of Lucas de Clercq" and "The Merry Drinker" by Frans Hals. Johannes Vermeer is represented by "The Love Letter", "The Little Street", and "Woman Reading a Letter". You will also be able to see "The Feast of Saint Nicholas" and "The Dancing Lesson" by Jan Steen. At the end of the hall is probably the most famous of all paintings of the Rijksmuseum - "The Night Watch" by Rembrandt! Take your time to enjoy these masterpieces, and when you're ready, explore other fascinating galleries of the Rijksmuseum!
THE RIJKSMUSEUM FEATURES MORE THAN PAINTINGS!
Within the corridors of the Rijksmuseum, you will have a chance to see a variety of exhibits! One of the specialized collections featured in the Rijksmuseum is dedicated to 17th-century Delft blue pottery. In trying to imitate Chinese fine porcelain, the Dutch developed their own distinctive style. Especially loved by kids is the collection of model ships, as well as a dollhouse collection. These doll houses are incredibly well crafted, with a lot of attention to details. There is also a special room dedicated to the 'Lanterna Magica' slides, where you can freely browse through numerous slides projected onto the wall. You can enter the Cuypers Library, the largest and oldest art library in the Netherlands!
