Before you go

Before you go, check the Rijksmuseum website to confirm which paintings are on view. The museum shows only part of its collection at a time, and works may be on loan. Works on paper rotate because of light sensitivity. Use the online collection search to find a painting's current location. Some galleries may be closed for conservation or special exhibitions, so check before planning your visit. The museum's website also lists current exhibitions and highlights.
