I like the way it is set up with a logical and easy layout. One of the best museums in the Netherlands!
AmyJuly 27, 2015
Download the museum's free app using their free wifi. It's exactly the same as the audio guide that costs €5. Look for numbers next to the pieces: gives you an idea which paintings to focus on.

One of the best museums in the Netherlands. Awfully good collection.

I love the Christmas tree hologram especially when it changes from green to white. Gaze upon it from outside in the tunnel :)

You wanna see De Nachtwacht aka The Night Watch by Rembrandt, don't you. It's huge. Big museum with lots to see.
DmytroAugust 11, 2017
Rembrandt and Vermeer are the best. Also it's very interesting to track arts history since Middle Ages till now
Ele Gagnidze 유February 13, 2017
Amazing collection of paintings. Save €5 by downloading their app for the audio guide. Free wifi in the building. See library, it is huge and amazing.
Valentin VesaJune 16, 2013
Great museum, they just opened after a 10 years long renovation. Beautiful collections. Buy tickets online!!!! ING debit/credit cards holders get a whooping 50% discount!!!
LaylaJuly 21, 2017
Great museum with great artwork. Definitely worth the visit. Plus, persons under the age of 17 can enter the museum for free, with a document that proves the age (i. e. passport)

Very classic museum with a section decorated for one of the greats, Rembrandt. Check it out if you're visiting Amsterdam.
Christophe PAugust 11, 2013
The audio guide, here called "multimedia tour", is an iOS app: if you already have an iOS device, you don't need to pay the 5€ to rent a device: you can just download the Rijksmuseum app on the Store!
Anna LevinaDecember 5, 2015
don't forget to download the free app that works as an audioguide. don't miss the Cuypers library inside and check out the gardens. entrance is free for those who are under 18

Been here 10+ times
Most important museum of Amsterdam, great Dutch Classic collection but do not miss the medialeval and modern one (ground floor and last floor)
Ji&V GuptaMarch 25, 2016
Bring headphones and download the app for an amazing guided tour on your phone. If you don't have headphones, you can buy them at the guided tour kiosk for 1,5 euros.

Ofcourse it's great for early art and the masters. But don't forget the upper part, 20th century modern art. Some nice pieces there!
Fien MalchairNovember 12, 2016
Been wandering around in here for quite some time. Every painting, statue, room is worth your time of looking at it. Great museum! Make sure you study the "nachtwacht"

Perfect way to end a boat tour and enjoy one of the best cultural experiences in Amsterdam: one of the world's largest collection of Renaissance masters, the Rijskmuseum is a must-do. Read more
Thetis TNovember 6, 2016
One of the best museums in the country. Very large collection from all times! Take the time to visit it, you won't regret it!
JonathanNovember 17, 2013
If the cafe is full, go to the coffee bar down the large staircase. They have good coffee, great fresh brownies, and Dutch ‘stroopwafels’.
Adrian LeoJuly 27, 2019
Beautiful place. Steeped in history and priceless artifacts. And the Night's Watch is even more impressive in person.
Michael McGaryJune 23, 2017
The media guide iPhone app was amazing. Great directions on the express tours and good descriptions of the artwork.
Jo MJune 21, 2014
Book online. It takes a few minutes and you don't need to print the tickets as you can download them as an e-ticket which they scan on the door. A great way to avoid the queues!
Marco SousaMarch 13, 2016
Really impressive Rembrandt masterpieces as well as some Van Gogh and friends work. Beautiful building that is incredible on its own.
Timothy YuanJune 28, 2015
A must-see in Amsterdam, especially for those interested in 17th-18th century art or Dutch history. Modern collection is small but well-curated.
BoMarch 24, 2019
Second time here, still enjoyed the beautiful place. It walks you through the history of Netherlands and Belgium. Need good walking shoes though.
Carter DayJuly 28, 2017
Make sure u download the app. It's informative and a great way to visit the museum. Do the building tour, a rich perspective on the Dutch history.
JB AApril 21, 2023
Consider making The Night's Watch your first museum stop - going straight towards it lets you avoid any crowd that forms, then walk away among the other Dutch masters in the Gallery of Honor.
Jordi FakianiApril 30, 2016
The museum is super big and clean. It offers art from different centuries. The architecture is amazing and the bar/restaurant great.
ThanasisMarch 22, 2016
Great art collection, make sure you have a few hours to make it to special exhibitions and the colonies exhibition. Highly recommended!
Lennart van NieuwenhuijzenFebruary 25, 2016
Gorgeous building, never feels crowded despite the large number of daily visitors. Do visit the library if you can.
Paulien ZomerMay 19, 2017
Buy your ticket online or at the counter in front of the museum (cards only) if you don't like to stand in line...(for a long time). Try to come early if you don't like crowds.
Ronald DLJune 28, 2020
Download the app and enjoy a selection of audio tours. There so much more than Rembrandt ..
Jack DavisMay 13, 2015
Incredible museum that has great audio tours (which you can get in the app) and more interesting artworks than can be summarised!
Reno MarcelloJuly 2, 2013
Aussies shouldn't forget to find Hartog's plate (the oldest European artifact to have been found in Australia) which is practically hidden in a completely nondescript cabinet.
Taras KnyshSeptember 18, 2014
Great collection of famous artists. Free WiFi. You can buy ticket online. You are allowed to make pictures here.
Jason H.May 4, 2017
Big yes to downloading the museum app and taking one of the tours. Helps make sense of a massive yet beautiful place!
Anton KulchynskyiJanuary 1, 2015
Great place, at least 2-3h required. Buy tickets one day before & download applications - will make life easier, instead of audio guides. Morning is better, avoid long queues.
Ahmet NrdlFebruary 3, 2017
Rembrandt Floor is 2nd one so u can start with that.And do not forget to see before u leave ships and arm collection.
Plaza ScienceJanuary 24, 2014
Fantastic Place! Know this place and others on Plaza Science! A place to explore and discover, to study and work in the world of science. Read more
Anna NybergMay 24, 2018
Go in the morning, I got to wander almost completely alone! Think it would have been better with a guide or if you learn a little bit about the art beforehand.
Yao LiApril 30, 2015
Quite big. You can download the audio tour app on your cellphone for free - I think it's the same version with that you can buy from front desk. However, I don't think you really need it.
Hana VNovember 5, 2022
Great museum to spend the day. Audio guide is great for more information. You can get the app for free with the same information.
DHR.comOctober 11, 2011
This one of the most important museums in Amsterdam. Go here if you want to see works by the Dutch Masters or famous creations such as Vermeer's The Milkmaid and Rembrandt's The Night Watch.
Mar DixonMay 18, 2013
It's a little confusing to explore so be careful you're not exiting to the beginning as you have to go through 'checkin' again. You can photograph EVERYTHING and all staff are so friendly!
azade badieeJuly 8, 2015
Beautiful and lively. Great sculptures and garden.
angelique v.September 24, 2014
Such a beautiful museum, with a cycling path right through it. Top attraction in Amsterdam!
DMJanuary 20, 2016
You need at least two visit to cover all arts. Btw the hide "Night Watch" in the furthest museum corner:)
Alex ShalanJanuary 19, 2014
Go on an off-day (i.e. Monday) when the wait is not long to get into the museum and not as crowded. Very impressive collection of Dutch art like Vermeer and Rembrandt.
Nassos ConquesoSeptember 1, 2022
Very interesting museum! You need to spend so many hours in there! I only saw the most important bits, and spent 3 hours!
Thomas MielkeAugust 11, 2013
You don't need to book the multimedia tour. You just need the free app. It's the same that you get with the iPod Touch from the counter. It's also free wifi in the museum.
