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.

The Wallace Collection was established by the Marquesses of Hertford, with the third and fourth adding greatly to it. The third was a friend of the Prince Regent and the fourth spent mst of his life in Paris in a chateau in the Bois de Boulogne. He never married but it was believed that Richard Wallace, who became his assistant in his collecting, was his son. Certainly Wallace inherited Hertford House and gained a knighthood for his philanthropic work, including installing Wallace Fountains across Paris to provide clean drinking water (there is one in front of the house). He left the house to his widow and she in turn left it to the nation.
There is a quantity of fine French furniture, but this piece is rather earlier, though I don't know its date or origin. Like the next photo, it has a half-naked woman on the front - definitely a conversation piece in one's drawing room.

I have nothing to upload, so I decided to take a screenshot of my macro works. I'm a certified macro addict.. lols :D
Some Barbies are hidden behind others, but yeah...this is my collection so far. I joke that they're invading the house shelf by shelf...but they are. *grin*.
first it was just a new shadowbox for some small Halloween items. Then a second shadowbox, then a book shelf and now it's ESCAPING FROM IT'S CORNER. I am powerless to stop it.
The Wallace has an impressive collection of Majolica (or Maiolica) tin-glazed pottery produced in Italy during the Renaissance. As far as I know, it was an art form developed in the Urbino region and not much developed elsewhere, although in the UK the Victorians copied it. The subject matter was often classical or hunting scenes, but many plates and bowls are of a domestic nature.
This plate, made round 1510, features two girls embracing. Judging by their almost bald heads and chubbiness, they must be toddlers, but it’s a curious centrepiece for a plate that has wild animals, sea creatures, hunting horns and axes round the outside.
