Description
From www.rijksmuseum.nl:
“At the Rijksmuseum, art and history take on new meaning for a broad-based, contemporary national and international audience.
As a national institute, the Rijksmuseum offers a representative overview of Dutch art and history from the Middle Ages onwards, and of major aspects of European and Asian art.
The Rijksmuseum keeps, manages, conserves, restores, researches, prepares, collects, publishes, and presents artistic and historical objects, both on its own premises and elsewhere.”
The Rijksmuseum App has 14 different multimedia tours that can be undertaken both at the museum and virtually.
It’s also possible to take a virtual tour of the Rijksmuseum through Google Arts & Culture.
