Why visit Rijksmuseum?
- The museum's most famous painting is Rembrandt's "Night Watch," which is not actually a night scene as the name suggests. It was covered in a dark varnish for years, leading to the misconception.
- The Rijksmuseum is the only museum in the world with a road running through it. Initially car-accessible until 1931, it now exclusively welcomes cyclists and pedestrians, preserving the museum's integrity and exhibits.
- The Rijksmuseum's gardens feature special beehives as part of an initiative to promote biodiversity and sustainability, reflecting the museum's commitment to environmental stewardship.
- During the 2013 renovation, many original features of the building, hidden or altered in previous renovations, were restored, including stunning stained-glass windows and intricate mosaic floors.
- Artwork isn't just confined to the galleries; the Rijksmuseum features art in unexpected places, including beautiful tile tableaus in the café and historically inspired murals in restrooms.
