This 2.5-hour semi-private guided museum tour of the Rijksmuseum will take you through a selection of its most important pieces, putting them into context for even the most amateur art lover. Instead of blindly walking through the halls of Holland’s largest museum, let our guide share the stories behind each must-see work of art and artifact. With a maximum of 8 people in each group, you'll enjoy a personal experience.
Holland’s version of the Louvre is a must, and this tour will introduce first-time visitors to the impressive and expansive collection that curates Dutch history over the centuries. For those who aren’t familiar with Dutch culture, you'll explore its rich and vibrant past through a selection of paintings and artifacts from the 8000 objects on display. You’ll explore familiar names like Rembrandt while discussing lesser-known items like 17th-century dollhouses and Vermeer’s portrait of domesticity, “The Milkmaid.” There’s even a fascinating 19th century library containing more stories than any guide could ever tell. By the end, you’ll have a good overview of the museum’s collection and you may even know how to pronounce its name correctly.
