The Rijksmuseum’s present home on the city’s Museumplein (Museum Square) was designed by renowned Dutch architect P.J.H. Cuypers – construction of the monumental building began in 1876 and it finally opened in 1885 as the largest museum in the Netherlands! Beyond the stunning and iconic art, and fascinating artefacts housed in an architecturally incredible building, 2013 saw the Rijksmuseum’s garden freshly landscaped, making it an ideal spot to sit and relax amidst magnificent surroundings – you can take a stroll to browse its sculptures and greenery for free (open every day from 09:00-18:00).
