A guided tour of Amsterdam’s Rijksmuseum is an ideal introduction to Dutch painting, history and culture. During this two-hour tour we’ll discuss the Dutch Golden Age of the 17th century and how Amsterdam exploded from a small fishing village into one of the most powerful cities in the world. Incredibly, many of the mechanisms that were put in place to run this new city-machine are still used today.
Wandering through the museum, we’ll observe Amsterdam's enormous transformation through the eyes of Dutch Masters including Rembrandt, Vermeer, Frans Hals and Jan Steen – painters who captured 17th-century society from entirely unique perspectives.
Join us and discover what makes Dutch Masters so unique, and how Rembrandt, nicknamed “the magician” in his early years, earned the title “grandfather of impressionism”.
