Rijksmuseum

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, we will explore its rich and vibrant past through a selection of paintings and artifacts from the 8000 objects on display. We’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 we 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.Highlights Include: - Rembrandt masterworks - The Night watch - The Jewish Bride - The Syndics of the Drapers' Guild - Vermeer's The Milkmaid - 19th century library - 17th century dollhouses, globes, ship replica, and Delft ceramics
