Wander in the Rijksmuseum

Art is a large part of the Netherlands’ cultural history, with the seventeenth century often being touted as the golden age for Dutch painting. The Rijksmuseum, one of the top things to do in Amsterdam, houses the largest collection of Dutch art in the world, including pieces by the infamous Rembrandt – his painting The Night Watch may well be the most famous collection here – and Vermeer. An afternoon at Rijksmuseum will give you deep insight into the key pieces and artists from the Dutch art movement, and it’s evolution and varied influences over the years.
