Rijksmuseum
Dutch national gallery
The Rijksmuseum is the national museum of the Netherlands, located in Amsterdam.
It houses the country's foremost collection of Dutch Golden Age paintings, including Rembrandt's *Night Watch* and Vermeer's *Milkmaid*.
The name is Dutch for "state museum." We spent the whole afternoon at the Rijksmuseum.
