El Rijksmuseum es el museo de arte e historia más importante de los Países Bajos, ubicado en la Museumplein de Ámsterdam.

Un poco de historia

The museum began in the Batavian Republic, when finance minister Isaac Gogel argued that a national collection modeled on the Louvre would serve the public interest. The government founded it in 1798, and the National Art Gallery opened in 1800 in five rooms at Huis ten Bosch in The Hague with around 200 paintings and historical objects. Louis Bonaparte ordered its move to Amsterdam in 1808, where city-owned works such as Rembrandt's Night Watch joined the collection. It first occupied the Royal Palace, then moved to the Trippenhuis in 1817. Unlike several European national museums, the Rijksmuseum did not simply inherit a royal collection. Purchases, donations, and the consolidation of holdings from other institutions built it over two centuries. A competition for a permanent museum eventually selected Pierre Cuypers. Construction began in 1876, and the decorated building opened on 13 July 1885. Its interiors were repeatedly altered: colored walls were painted over, and exhibition rooms and several floors were built into the two courtyards. The main building closed in 2003 for a comprehensive renovation by Cruz y Ortiz. Delays extended the project to nearly ten years, but it restored original decoration, reopened the courtyards, and reorganized the collection. Queen Beatrix reopened the museum on 13 April 2013, with The Night Watch returned to its dedicated room.
