Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam (i)

One of the reasons for our trip to Amsterdam was to visit the Rijksmuseum. Entry isn’t cheap (now it’s €22.50) especially if you’re used to free British Museums but it’s a very good museum indeed.

Building:-

Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam

The Great Hall is on the first floor (second floor if you’re USian.)

It has a nicely painted ceiling:-
