Rijksmuseum, Van Gogh Museum and Stedelijk museum all located next to each other.
Yesterday I went out to see over a billion $ in art in just a few hours.
In Amsterdam there is a square that art lovers dream about our museum square located downtown in Amsterdam.
At the square there are multiple worldclass museums. The Rijksmuseum, van Gogh Museum and the Stedelijk museum.
Rijksmuseum (entrance fee $17,50)
The Rijksmuseum has more than one million objects in the collection only around 8 thousand are on display and the rest in stored in the archive. Therefore the museum can be always up to date and is well respected all over the world.
This is the museum, with the well-known “Iamsterdam” sign.
The entrance
Beautiful windows insight
But its off course the paintings that give the museum character .
“Het Melkmeisje”
“de Nachtwacht”
“De things you need to look at explained in order to understand the painting better”
“this gentlemen is working on his own art within the museum, let see if he will be famous one day!”
van Gogh Museum (admission $17,50)
The Rijksmuseum has the van Gogh Museum right next to her.
Van Gogh the Dutch painter that was poor and cut his ear of because he lost his mind. If he only knew, how popular he would become!
“real or fake?.....................this one is fake just hanging in the lobby, can you tell?
If you don’t like this type of art, the Stedelijk will be your best choice on the square.
Stedelijk Museum(admission $17,50)
This museum will show you contemporary art. With different collections all the time.
Savings tip!
If you want to visit those 3 museums you might as well buy a museum pas for a year, valid at almost every museum in the Netherlands. The pas will costs you $55 and you will save big if you are in Amsterdam for a few days.
Remember to visit the square!
Hope you enjoyed the post and remember to visit Amsterdam one day
