Rijksmuseum has a very special meaning for me with its inspiring presence in Amsterdam.
The photogenic building, acoustic in the tunnel below, the view from the museum square, its special garden and of course its historical significance. What an inspiring atmosphere!
It is always one of the most favorite places for the content of my art which I have created over the years as an Amsterdam street photographer and blogger.
The museum is located at the Museumplein (Museum Square) in a gorgeous Gothic- and Renaissance-style building designed by Pierre Cuypers.
Here you can learn about 800 years of the Netherland’s history and admire works of famous Dutch artists. Some of the most notable artworks on display are “The Night Watch” by Rembrandt, “Self-Portrait” by Vincent van Gogh, and “The Happy Family” by Jan Steen.
