The Rijksmuseum (Dutch pronunciation: [ËrÉi̯ksmyËzeËjÊm]; English: State Museum) is a Netherlands national museum dedicated to arts and history in Amsterdam. The museum is located at the Museum Square in the borough Amsterdam South, close to the Van Gogh Museum, the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam, and the Concertgebouw.
The Rijksmuseum was founded in The Hague in 1800 and moved to Amsterdam in 1808, where it was first located in the Royal Palace and later in the Trippenhuis. The current main building was designed by Pierre Cuypers and first opened its doors in 1885. On 13 April 2013, after a ten-year renovation which cost ⬠375 million, the main building was reopened by Queen Beatrix. In 2013 and 2014, it was the most visited museum in the Netherlands with record numbers of 2.2 million and 2.45 million visitors.
The museum has on display 8,000 objects of art and history, from their total collection of 1 million objects from the years 1200â2000, among which are some masterpieces by Rembrandt, Frans Hals, and Johannes Vermeer. The museum also has a small Asian collection which is on display in the Asian pavilion.
Building
The building of the Rijksmuseum was designed by Pierre Cuypers and opened in 1885. It consists of two squares with an atrium in each centre. In the central axis is a tunnel with the entrances at ground level and the Gallery of Honour at the first floor. The building also contains a library. The fragment building, branded Philips wing, contains building fragments that show the history of architecture in the Netherlands. The Rijksmuseum is a rijksmonument (national heritage site) since 1970 and was listed in the Top 100 Dutch heritage sites in 1990. The Asian pavilion was designed by Cruz y Ortiz and opened in 2013.
History
21st century
The atrium after the renovation in 2013
In December 2003, the main building of the museum closed for a major renovation. During this renovation, about 400 objects from the collection were on display in the 'fragment building', including Rembrandt's The Night Watch and other 17th-century masterpieces.
The restoration and renovation of the Rijksmuseum are based on a design by Spanish architects Antonio Cruz and Antonio Ortiz. Many of the old interior decorations were restored and the floors in the courtyards were removed. The renovation would have initially taken five years, but was delayed and eventually took almost ten years to complete. The renovation cost ⬠375 million.
The reconstruction of the building was completed on 16 July 2012. In March 2013 the museum's main pieces of art were moved back from the 'fragment building' (Philips Wing) to the main building. The Night Watch returned to the Night Watch Room, at the end of the Hall of Fame. On 13 April 2013, the main building was reopened by Queen Beatrix. On 1 November 2014 the Philips Wing reopened with the exhibition Modern Times: Photography in the 20th Century.
According to Muriel Huisman, Project Architect for the Rijksmuseum's renovation, "Cruz y Ortiz always like to look for a synergy between old and new, and we try not to explain things with our architecture.â With the Rijks, âthereâs no cut between old and new; weâve tried to merge it. We did this by looking for materials that were true to the original building, resulting in a kind of silent architecture."

The collection of the Rijksmuseum consists of 1 million objects and is dedicated to arts, crafts, and history from the years 1200 to 2000. Around 8000 objects are currently on display in the museum.
The collection contains more than 2,000 paintings from the Dutch Golden Age by notable painters such as Jacob Isaakszoon van Ruisdael, Frans Hals, Johannes Vermeer, Jan Steen, Rembrandt, and Rembrandt's pupils.
The museum also has a small Asian collection which is on display in the Asian pavilion.
It also displays the stern of HMS Royal Charles which was captured in the Raid on the Medway, and the Hartog plate.
In 2012 the museum took the unusual step of making some 125,000 high-resolution images available for download via its Rijksstudio webplatform, with plans to add another 40,000 images per year until the entire collection of one million works is available, according to Taco Dibbits, director of collections.

Not as massive as others. Maybe 3 months worth of collection. I'm not as obsessed with collecting as I was before.
smooth fox terrier book in my 1930 german desk set featuring wire fox terrier. Book available, desk set afraid not!
A collection of unfinished prototype weapons found in various parts of the battlefield.
A voice recording was found along with the weapons:
[BEGIN RECORDING]
"Hey guys, Farryn here. Yes, I know that these weapons don't have much work put to them. The reason for that is that Windows 10 gave me the ol' f*** you during the creation of these guns, crashing before I could do any more work on it."
"Obviously I am pissed about that (seeing as every iteration of Windows becomes more unstable), but fortunately, I DID keep a snap shot of these weapons, and... well, compiled all of them into a collection of sorts."
"Hopefully the screw ups from this incompetent OS won't affect my future plans. Farryn out."
[END RECORDING]
TOP - Radiance NRG/R
A pump-action energy rifle developed by Thricell to combat rampant bio-weapons. Instead of firing conventional munitions, it fires a powerful laser that can pierce kinetic shielding and thick carapaces alike. Ammunition is scarce for this weapon, so the Radiance NRG/R has seen limited use.
MIDDLE - Type 184 Carbine
An unlicensed copy of the AN-200 series of rifles. It lacks the refined materials found on the parent rifle, and as such its performance pales in comparison to most contemporary rifles used in the battlefields of Old Haven.
BOTTOM - Bandit SMG-9
A cheaply made 9mm submachine gun modeled after the Sten submachine guns. It features a barrel jacket to assist in heat dissipation and accuracy.
