The Rijksmuseum<\/p>\n

Another one of Amsterdam’s great museums.<\/p>\n

I like the Rijksmuseum<\/a> , it has some of the worlds best and best known paintings; including The Nightwatch by Rembrandt 1642, Actually its called the Company of Frans Banning Cocq and Willem van Ruytenburch’<\/i> The painting is over 3m tall and 4m wide.<\/p>\n

and others too numerous to list here.
I was a bit disappointed because most of the museum is still under renovation and is off limits. I was expecting to spend a couple of hours or more there, I spent a bit more than an hour.<\/p>\n

I am still impressed with the masterpieces and I know that the only place to see some of them, especially the Nightwatch, will be at the Rijksmuseum. Hopefully I will be able to return after 2010 to see the museum after the renovations.<\/p>\n

I’m glad I have the museum card and didn’t have to pay the admission charge.
The museum card is a great way to save money on some of the best museums in The Netherlands.(I’ll have more information about the Museum card in another post)<\/i><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
