Inhaltsangabe

Few art collections in the world can rival that of the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam. Built in 1885, the iconic museum holds more than a million works, with a particular focus on Dutch masters—its collection of works by Van Gogh, Vermeer, and Rembrandt are unparalleled.

The museum recently reopened after a ten-year renovation that cost more than $400 million, and the result is stunning: never before has the Rijksmuseum’s collection been displayed so well. This book offers a lavishly illustrated chronicle of both the collection and the building that houses it. Though nothing can replace an actual trip to the Rijksmuseum—as the more than two million annual visitors can attest—this book comes as close as possible, taking art lovers on a virtual tour of the greatest masterworks of Western art in a building that is brilliantly designed to show them at their best.

The Rijksmuseum is restored and more beautiful than it has ever been. The original interior has been recovered under the direction of Cruz y Ortiz. Pierre Cuypers' original architecture and decor form once again a coherent whole. Daylight permeates the museum, re-establishing its original clarity. As a result a visit to the Rijksmuseum is a richer and more fulfilling experience. The book Rijksmuseum takes you on a visually stunning tour to the architectural highlights, the masterpieces in the collection - Van Gogh, Vermeer and Rembrandt amongst others - and out into the beautiful gallery.
