Been wandering around in here for quite some time. Every painting, statue, room is worth your time of looking at it. Great museum! Make sure you study the "nachtwacht"

Buy your ticket online or at the counter in front of the museum (cards only) if you don't like to stand in line...(for a long time). Try to come early if you don't like crowds.

Big museum, free WiFi, if you download their app you can access audio guides for free. Buy the museumkaart for quick easy access to this and other museums.
JB AOctober 15, 2014
Have a rough plan using the museum website, or you could easily lose a whole day wandering through the art. Or maybe that is what you want to do!

The audio guide, here called "multimedia tour", is an iOS app: if you already have an iOS device, you don't need to pay the 5€ to rent a device: you can just download the Rijksmuseum app on the Store!

Download the museum's free app using their free wifi. It's exactly the same as the audio guide that costs €5. Look for numbers next to the pieces: gives you an idea which paintings to focus on.

Aussies shouldn't forget to find Hartog's plate (the oldest European artifact to have been found in Australia) which is practically hidden in a completely nondescript cabinet.

Perfect way to end a boat tour and enjoy one of the best cultural experiences in Amsterdam: one of the world's largest collection of Renaissance masters, the Rijskmuseum is a must-do. Read more

Very classic museum with a section decorated for one of the greats, Rembrandt. Check it out if you're visiting Amsterdam.
JB AApril 21, 2023
Consider making The Night's Watch your first museum stop - going straight towards it lets you avoid any crowd that forms, then walk away among the other Dutch masters in the Gallery of Honor.
Bryan VeldkampJanuary 1, 2016
I like the way it is set up with a logical and easy layout. One of the best museums in the Netherlands!
Stefanie LadanghOctober 28, 2016
One of the biggest and most impressive museums in Amsterdam. A must visit if you are here for the first time and would like some culture.
Mar DixonMay 18, 2013
It's a little confusing to explore so be careful you're not exiting to the beginning as you have to go through 'checkin' again. You can photograph EVERYTHING and all staff are so friendly!
Carter DayJuly 28, 2017
Make sure u download the app. It's informative and a great way to visit the museum. Do the building tour, a rich perspective on the Dutch history.
Jack JenkinsAugust 19, 2013
In the week, if you arrive before 10.30am, then you'll manage to cut a HUGE amount of queue time. We got here at about 10am and had a stress free, great morning there.
Jo MJune 21, 2014
Book online. It takes a few minutes and you don't need to print the tickets as you can download them as an e-ticket which they scan on the door. A great way to avoid the queues!
Ville VihermaaApril 29, 2018
You wanna see De Nachtwacht aka The Night Watch by Rembrandt, don't you. It's huge. Big museum with lots to see.
ThanasisMarch 22, 2016
Great art collection, make sure you have a few hours to make it to special exhibitions and the colonies exhibition. Highly recommended!
Thetis TNovember 6, 2016
One of the best museums in the country. Very large collection from all times! Take the time to visit it, you won't regret it!
Lennart van NieuwenhuijzenFebruary 25, 2016
Gorgeous building, never feels crowded despite the large number of daily visitors. Do visit the library if you can.
Kitt HodJune 19, 2018
The mobile app is incredibly well done! Buy tickets via the app and skip all the lines!
DHR.comOctober 11, 2011
This one of the most important museums in Amsterdam. Go here if you want to see works by the Dutch Masters or famous creations such as Vermeer's The Milkmaid and Rembrandt's The Night Watch.
Taras KnyshSeptember 18, 2014
Great collection of famous artists. Free WiFi. You can buy ticket online. You are allowed to make pictures here.
izi.TRAVELMarch 31, 2014
Many of the works of art that date from around the same time as the canal ring are to be found in the imposing edifice on the opposite side of the road and the water. Read more
Marco SousaMarch 13, 2016
Really impressive Rembrandt masterpieces as well as some Van Gogh and friends work. Beautiful building that is incredible on its own.
Evgenii LMay 5, 2017
Nice museum with a lot of nice things and paintings. A bit crowded. Minimum 2 Hours are needed for it.
Timothy YuanJune 28, 2015
A must-see in Amsterdam, especially for those interested in 17th-18th century art or Dutch history. Modern collection is small but well-curated.
Jack DavisMay 13, 2015
Incredible museum that has great audio tours (which you can get in the app) and more interesting artworks than can be summarised!
Edo CostaFebruary 14, 2015
Been here 10+ times
Most important museum of Amsterdam, great Dutch Classic collection but do not miss the medialeval and modern one (ground floor and last floor)

Koko Tip: Book an early morning ticket and you’ll have the museum to yourself. There’s nothing like standing in the great hall in silence. ❤️ Koko
Kelly K.July 12, 2016
Awfully crowded but the works of art displayed makes it all worthwhile. Best to get the audio guide.
Jordi FakianiApril 30, 2016
The museum is super big and clean. It offers art from different centuries. The architecture is amazing and the bar/restaurant great.
Tatha SaragihOctober 28, 2014
You will need the whole day (or more) to explore what they have lovely curated inside. Ps: You can also get your Museumkaart here!
Adrian LeoJuly 27, 2019
Beautiful place. Steeped in history and priceless artifacts. And the Night's Watch is even more impressive in person.
LaylaJuly 21, 2017
Great museum with great artwork. Definitely worth the visit. Plus, persons under the age of 17 can enter the museum for free, with a document that proves the age (i. e. passport)
Ronald DLJune 28, 2020
Download the app and enjoy a selection of audio tours. There so much more than Rembrandt ..
Christopher CamargoAugust 21, 2013
A great museum but get there early. At 10 AM on a Tuesday I walked right in. By Noon, there was a line around the building just to get to the queue to purchase tickets.
Anna LevinaDecember 5, 2015
don't forget to download the free app that works as an audioguide. don't miss the Cuypers library inside and check out the gardens. entrance is free for those who are under 18
Alex ShalanJanuary 19, 2014
Go on an off-day (i.e. Monday) when the wait is not long to get into the museum and not as crowded. Very impressive collection of Dutch art like Vermeer and Rembrandt.
AptravelerMay 20, 2019
Get your ticket online a head of your visit...unless you want to stand in a long line like this one! 😲
FuriousmateSeptember 29, 2015
The audio guide (5 euro; as of Sep 2015) - it's a smartphone-like visual & audio device, just rent one and share with your company because you could always play it back during your visit.
Thomas CraenenJanuary 11, 2016
Pride of the Netherlands, large collection of Dutch masters located in an impressive building. Skip the queue and pre-order your ticket online.
angelique v.September 24, 2014
Such a beautiful museum, with a cycling path right through it. Top attraction in Amsterdam!
burtonbartijnJanuary 7, 2016
Ofcourse it's great for early art and the masters. But don't forget the upper part, 20th century modern art. Some nice pieces there!
M KMarch 25, 2017
Been here 5+ times
The home of Rembrandt's Night Watch, but also numerous other great artworks like Alma Tadema's Death of the Firstborn and Vermeer's Milkmaid
Aurelia dgFebruary 21, 2015
You should definitely download the app and come with headphones the comments are great and you can choose what you want to see !
Juho KilkkuJune 25, 2013
You can find high quality photos of many of the paintings online so photographing them might not provide any added value to your visit. Just enjoy the art.
Ahmet NrdlFebruary 3, 2017
Rembrandt Floor is 2nd one so u can start with that.And do not forget to see before u leave ships and arm collection.
Sergey KuznetsovAugust 23, 2015
Great museum. Even if you don't know much about art, they offer an explanation for almost every painting. I left educated :)
SarahJune 30, 2019
