Dutch History Tour at the Rijksmuseum

Experience the Rijksmuseum like never before with our guided tour, designed to help you navigate the vast and overwhelming collection of Dutch art and history. Rather than getting lost in a sea of dates and styles, our tour takes you through the museum chronologically, starting from the early history of the Netherlands, through its struggles for independence, and into the Dutch Golden Age.

But we don't stop at Rembrandt and Vermeer. We continue to explore how Dutch identity evolved beyond the Golden Age, connecting the past to the present and providing insights into how art reflects societal changes over time.

Our tour centers on the theme of "artistic combat," revealing how artists, both past and present, have used their work to subtly critique power and influence historical events. Join us to uncover the hidden messages in the masterpieces and gain a deeper understanding of Dutch history through its art.
