Rijksmuseum Amsterdam
The Rijksmuseum (National Museum), set in its historic building, is the largest
museum in the
Netherlands.
The museum is the largest in the size of its collections,
its building, the budget and the number of staff employed.
Each year, more than a million people visit the Rijksmuseum.
The museum employs around 400 people, including 45 curators
who are specialised in all areas.
The Rijksmuseum is internationally renowned for its exhibitions
and publications and not only are these high quality products,
but are also areas in which the museum extends the
boundaries of scholarship and encourages new insights.
The museum also devotes considerable resources to education
and to the decor and layout of exhibitions. Leading designers are
regularly commissioned to work on Rijksmuseum projects.
Update: The main building of the Rijksmuseum is being renovated.
The good news is that the very best of the collection is displayed in the redesigned
Philips Wing. The name of this exhibition is 'The
Masterpieces'.
The museum is open daily from 10am to 5pm.
The entrance is from Stadhouderskade 42.
