Sobre Rijksmuseum

The Rijksmuseum charges €25 for adults and admits visitors under 18 free, as of 2026, and every visitor must book a start time. The national museum of the Netherlands holds about 1 million objects, with roughly 8,000 on display, and its Gallery of Honour ends at Rembrandt's The Night Watch. Pierre Cuypers's brick-and-sandstone building on Museumstraat opened in 1885, and a central passage still carries cyclists and pedestrians straight through the ground floor beneath the galleries. Rijksmuseum galleries are strongest on the seventeenth century, with Vermeer's The Milkmaid, works by Frans Hals and Jan Steen, and a large room of ship models and naval paintings that shows how trade money built the Dutch Republic.

Mejor momento del día: 09:00-10:00. On a weekday, or the last two hours before 17:00 when day-trip groups have left.

    Most day visitors leave before closing, so the Gallery of Honour empties enough to view The Night Watch from a distance.

Historia de Rijksmuseum

The Rijksmuseum was founded on 19 November 1798 in The Hague and moved to Amsterdam in 1808, first into the Royal Palace on Dam Square and later to other premises. Pierre Cuypers, who also designed Amsterdam Centraal, won the commission for the present building, which opened in 1885 with Gothic and Renaissance elements, stained glass and painted ceilings.

A renovation that ran for about ten years and cost €375 million closed most of the building until the reopening on 13 April 2013. The project restored Cuypers's original circulation, opened the two courtyard atria and kept the cycle passage that Amsterdam residents insisted on. The separate Philips Wing, which shows Dutch architectural history through salvaged fragments of demolished buildings, sits at one side of the main block. Visitor numbers reached 2.2 million in 2013 and 2.47 million in 2014, making the Rijksmuseum the most visited museum in the country.

Normas y etiqueta en Rijksmuseum

The Rijksmuseum requires a booked start time for every visitor, including holders of a Museumkaart, with exceptions only for Friends members and ICOM or ICOMOS pass holders. Arriving within the slot matters more than arriving early, because staff at the entrance check the time printed on the ticket.

Large bags, backpacks and coats are held in the cloakroom lockers near the entrance, and staff can ask visitors to leave bulky items there; verify current size limits at the official site. Photography without flash is generally allowed in the permanent galleries, but tripods and selfie sticks are not, and the room around The Night Watch is the one place where crowds make even phone photography awkward. Food and drink stay out of the galleries, and the cafe and the Michelin-starred RIJKS restaurant serve the ground floor.

Consejos para visitar Rijksmuseum

  1. 1

    Rijksmuseum visitors who go straight to The Night Watch on entering meet the densest crowd of the day; walk the Gallery of Honour in reverse order, starting from the far end, or view the painting after 16:00. Rembrandt's group portrait is the fixed point of the visit, but The Milkmaid and the small Delft street scenes reward a slower look.

  2. 2

    Book the earliest slot at 09:00 on a weekday and plan a two-to-three-hour visit rather than a full day. The Rijksmuseum Garden, on the Museumplein side, can be entered separately and holds bronzes and a formal parterre. The Vondelpark starts a five-minute walk west, and the Van Gogh Museum stands across Museumplein, so a booked pair of timed tickets can share one day without a tram.
