The Rijksmuseum is a Dutch national museum dedicated to arts and history in Amsterdam. This building first opened its doors in 1885

In April 2013 the museum reopened after a ten-year renovation at a cost of 375 million euros or over $400 million dollars

It is the largest art museum in The Netherlands. The building itself is a work of art

The entrance lobby. For once I did not walk to the museum but took the tram. I was there just minutes after it opened

My first view of the art. For most of the paintings that follow I have included the basic information about the work in a following photo. I chose some of the popular works but also some that I particularly liked.
