State Museum of the Rijksmuseum

If you want to learn more about the history and culture of Holland, taste the sea battles and the smoke of military campaigns, visit the State Museum or the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.

On April 13, 2013, after almost 10 years of restoration, this pride of national heritage reopened its richest collection to the public. The 80 halls of the museum house the centuries-old history of the country from 1100 to the present day.

A tour of the museum will acquaint you with different eras, will open a huge variety of genres that arose at the “junction” of centuries and will tell about the life and work of the greatest Dutch masters who managed to create unsurpassed masterpieces of painting and applied art.

The most striking part of the museum’s exposition is the “Gallery of Fame”. There is an exclusive collection of priceless paintings by J. Wermeir, F. Hals, P. Sunredam, H. Averkamp, crowned by the world-famous “Night Watch” of the great Rembrandt van Rijn.

You will learn how tense was the political situation of the “Dutch court” in the turbulent “Gold” of the XVII century, what were the fashions, customs and customs of the time that ate, drank and entertained rich merchants and regents, what were the hobbies and hobbies of their wives.

A tour of the museum will answer all your questions and provide a unique opportunity to appreciate this small country on the world map with a loud and beautiful name "Netherlands".

We invite everyone to make an exciting trip to the Rijksmuseum in the depths of centuries. All you need to do is go to Amsterdam!
