 Vermeer - The milkmaid by morganna
I find interesting that it was build over an important road. Nowadays, cars don't go under the museum, troguh a tunnel.
Even if I think it is difficult to compare the Rijks with Louvre, British or even Prado, this museum is an absolute must. The best rooms are, of course, dedicated to dutch paintings. Maybe the most renowned are Vermeer and Rembrandt, but I enjoyed a lot the old masters (15 and 16 centuries), where almost nobody seemed to be interested!
- It's open every day from 10.00 to 17.00 (only closed on 1st Jan). The entrance fee is 9,00 EUR.

 Detail of exterior by ChrsStrl
But I find that a lot of people go for what is inside and never look at the buiolding which has many pleasant details and a nice garden at the back to rest museum-weary bones! Leave a Comment

 Night Watch by Rembrant by BorneoGrrl
To be honest, I was a little disappointed when I visit the Rijksmuseum because for 10 euros, I expected more. I was informed that the museum is undergoing a major renovation and should be completed by 2008. Even walking slowly, I finished the whole museum in 2 hours. I've spent more time at the Lourve and the Vatican museums so you can understand how I feel.
Admission fee is 10 euros for adults
The Rijksmuseum is open every day from 9:00-18:00hr

 The Rijksmuseum building in
Amsterdam by mikelisaanna, 2 more photos
The Rijksmuseum is currently under renovation. However, the highlights of the collection are still on display in a corner of the museum, so you can still get a good sampling of the museum even if you can't see the whole thing. Leave a Comment

 Dutch Masters: Willem Claesz
Heda "still life" by davequ
Why?
The things the Dutch Master artists (Rembrandt, Vermeer, et all) did with "light" and the inspiring still lifes are beyond amazing (see Willem Claesz Heda (right) --->)
Rijks is conveniently close to the Van Gogh museum and the beautiful Vondelpark, making it a wonderful 1, 2, or even 3-day excursion. Don't yawn, I could easily spend a few days in just this particular part of town and the pijp.
Rijksmuseum has an outstanding web site in both Engels and Nederlands here:
Rijkmuseum
Enjoy, and be inspired.
Work continues on the reconfiguration, but it still is a marvelous experience. When it is done, it will be even better. Leave a Comment

 Amsterdam: Rijksmuseum by OlafSLeave a Comment

Named after the Dutch city of Delft where delftware was manufactured, origins can be traced to Mallorca in the 15th century where a porous type of pottery was glazed with bright metallic oxides. During the Renaissance these techniques were exported to Italy from where they spread north to Antwerp and then to the Netherlands, at the time called the United Provinces.
Initially delft pottery designs featured landscapes, portraits and bible stories, the top end of the market was dominated by more ornate porcelain imported from China. When a prolonged civil war broke the supply line Delfts factories took over the luxury side of the market by copying Chinese designs. By the 1670's, blue and white tiles, plates, panels, jars and vases were being produced by the thousands and even exported to China where they undercut the Chinese producers.
Unfortunately the Delft factories were themselves undercut from the 1760's by the British and the Germans until eventually production was shut down.
Here in the Rijksmuseum in Room 5 is a large assortment of Delftware from plates and tiles, through to vases and flower holders dating from the late sixteenth century. Leave a Comment
