Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: Rijksmuseum, Museumstraat 1, 1071 XX Amsterdam The Netherlands
Join your guide, a professional art historian, for an in-depth look at the incredible collection of the Rijksmuseum. Your tour will focus on the collection from the 17th century, the Golden Age of Amsterdam. This century saw the development of an art market that Europe had never seen before. The climate of this innovative city provided the perfect environment for some of the biggest artists the world has ever seen.
Experience the incredible illusionism of Rembrandt’s portraits, the serenity of Vermeer’s interiors, and the beauty of Dutch floral still life. All these works reveal the political, religious, and social ideals that helped create our modern ideas of tolerance, and liberalism. See the doll’s-houses that would be the envy of any child, but were strictly for upper class woman, and be awed by the bespoke library, with the largest collection of books dedicated to art history in the Netherlands.
Other highlights can include Rembrandt’s ‘The Night watch’, Vermeer’s ‘Milkmaid’, Delftware owned by a Dutch Queen, The Great Hall, The Gallery of Honour, and ship models.
