The building itself was stunning. As soon as I arrived, I was amazed by its beautiful architecture — a mix of history and elegance. When I entered, I felt both excited and a little overwhelmed because there was so much to see. I finally saw Rembrandt’s “The Night Watch” in real life. It was larger and more impressive than I imagined. Walking through the museum, I felt like I was traveling through time. Each room told a different story about Dutch history and culture. The atmosphere was calm, and I could feel the respect that everyone had for the artworks.

I love this museum and my favorite painting is the little street by Vermeer. Has been for over 40 years when I first saw it at the Rijksmuseum. I brought my assistance animal, a dog, with me and everyone adored her! The special cake made for the 750 celebration of the city of Amsterdam was exquisite. Thank you for a delightful morning visiting your museum. Oh, and by the way, your staff is very supportive, friendly and knowledgeable.

We came to Amsterdam for 4 days. We had prebooked tickets for myself and my husband. We were looking forward to visit Rijksmuseum in a day, but it wasn't possible. The museum has lots of huge collections, which we couldn't see in one day. We saw level 1 and 2. We will be back in Amsterdam and we will come to the museum again. I loved everything I saw there. We strongly recommend visiting it.

Rijksmuseum is a place that anyone should visit (once is not enough). Mesmerising collection of historical artefacts and some of the most beautiful and profilic pieces of art. This was my second visit and will definitely return again ❤️

We were at the museum on 5.10.25 and it was a great experience. The exhibition is fantastic. Even though there were a lot of people in the museum, it was very quiet and you could look at everything in peace.

entry to such an important museum always generates excitement, and I was able to see beautiful works very well displayed and guarded despite the presence of other people.

Paintings, statues and plastics made of stones or ivory were sometimes really breathtaking, however in the most interesting parts the museum was really busy and loud. I've visited some galleries and art museums in Budapest, Vienna and Krakow but in none of them it was so noisy. It was really disappointing when I was enjoying just the digitalized Nightwatch painting standing in large empty hall when a group arrived and a women loudly asked me to excuse her. Probably I was in the way for her photo or what. The amount of guards was impressing maybe if they care even of people not being to loud, because the acoustic is great and calm them a bit down people like me will enjoy the experience much more. I understand that these days are about taking photos, selfies and making vlogs while going through the museum, but this is in my opinion inappropriate for artists like Vermeer. Somehow the Monet went unrecognised even though the painting was pulling me towards it from like 20 meters. So everything would be perfect if people will be more people and less like dogs in a dog school. I was not taking photos because I believe that we should enjoy the moment and not spend it staring into the phone. Iron maiden have same opinion on their shows and the experience was much better this year eventhough many people were still filming the show. Think about it a bit. :)
