Overview

This private tour is perfect for those who want to discover the Rijksmuseum at their own pace. An expert art guide will accompany you for 2 hours on a visit to the most important museum in the country. Did you know that the Netherlands is known worldwide as the country of museums? Its capital alone has more than 50, and the most important collection of Dutch art in the world. An expert art guide will accompany you for 2 hours on a visit to the most important museum in the country, the Rijksmuseum. Adults and children can enjoy this excursion as you will travel through more than 4 centuries of art history, prepare the time machine! The jewel in the crown The works of this museum are not only hung on the walls, but the building itself is already jaw-dropping. One of the best examples of 19th century architecture is by the master Pierre Cuypers who mixed Catholic design with the Calvinist era of Amsterdam and unleashed chaos by inaugurating this monument that crowns the Museum Square. 400 years of art In the 15th century, while the Renaissance was born in Italy, the Flemish primitives arrived in the Netherlands… The union of these two eras gave rise to modern painting. Although many works remain “anonymous’’ to this day, as we continue advancing in time many names will surely ring a bell. Jan van Scorel was named by the only Dutch-born pope as the official painter of the Holy See, and some of his works can be admired in this museum; others unfortunately were destroyed in the Flanders War. If none of that was impressive enough, let us add Rembrandt, Vermeer, Goya and Van Gogh into the mix. Our guide will take you on a journey across the Dutch Golden Age with its best-known teachers and works, such as The Night Watch or The Milkmade… to continue towards the 19th century with Van Gogh’s self-portraits or Goya’s portrait “Don Ramón Satué”. If at the end of the visit, you have some extra time to spare, you should visit the Gothic galleries of the museum on your own, or visit the gift shop to buy a postcard of your favourite painting.
