The Chain Reaction on the 1st floor - a lot of engineering and aesthetic design went into creating the set. And the presenter was great, and it was obvious she herself enjoyed every minute of it. The rest of 1st floor, and all others, had that same combo of science and pleasure for the eyes and ears and fingers. Rooftop restaurant was nice with a great view, 4th floor (about us humans) had the right level of scientific depth and entertainment, we had little time for the 3rd floor, the labs on the 2nd - simple, hands on, exciting. Again, a lot of design thinking went into them (in college I had 5 different chemistry-related subjects).

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.

    Nice array of paintings and various mediums but the museum was a bit confusing to navigate. Wish there were better signage and it was organized a bit better by artist. would definitely recommend getting a guided tour for this reason my sister was able to get a ticket but the rest were sold out.

    Although Project Night Watch kept me from the painting I really came to see, I had a wonderful afternoon revisiting and learning from some of the masters. I wasn't really prepared for how struck I was by Whistler's arrangement in grey and yellow. Nor did I expect such a rush of joy as I got in front of Vermeers and Rembrandts. The acoustics in the central halls and stairways is atrociously horrible, but once I had a quiet moment in the magical library I was over it.
