Heart of Amsterdam

The Rijksmuseum is located on Amsterdam's Museumplein. Close to the centuries-old canal belt and within walking distance of the Vondelpark. Many visitors therefore choose a combination of busy city with a moment of relaxation in the museum.

The fact that the Rijksmuseum is one of the most famous museums in the world is mainly due to the fame of the masterpieces in the collection. Van Gogh's Self-Portrait, Vermeer's The Little Street, Jan Steen's Household and Rembrandt's Night Watch. But the work of Breitner and the Asian Pavilion also ensure that the Rijksmuseum continues to appeal to the imagination of new generations of visitors.
