About This Tour
Enjoy a private tour of the Rijksmuseum with an art historian as your guide. Dive deep into the works of the Dutch 17th-century masters. Discover Rembrandt's phenomenal brushstrokes, step into Vermeer's intimate scenes, and say hi to Frans Hals' smiling figures. Gain a solid understanding of why Dutch art was flourishing in the 17th century and how Amsterdam became such a liberal city. But, it's not only the 17th century that you will discover. Van Gogh went to the opening of the Rijksmuseum in 1885. He was waiting for his friend, in the meantime he made a sketch of Amsterdam in oil paint. That day he went to the Rijksmuseum, left his bag with the painting in the wardrobe. Now 150 years later, the painting is back and on view!
