Art and Culture in Amsterdam

"Amsterdam’s national museum on Museumplein showcases Rembrandt’s “Night Watch,” among other Golden Age masterpieces. For the most intimate experience, come at 9:00 AM when the museum opens, as the most renowned works attract hordes of viewers later in the day. Allow several hours to browse more than 8,000 objects of art and history, from iconic 17th-century art to Delft porcelain and detailed ship models. New upper level galleries dedicated to the 20th-century feature paintings, furniture, photography, posters, films, and even iconic fashion like Yves Saint Laurent’s 1965 Mondrian dress. A free app, multimedia tours, and a digital game take you deeper into the collection. Manicured gardens and an outdoor chess board are accessible with no entry fee." - MATADOR_NETWORK
