The Gallery of Honour with focus
Choose three works before you go in and leave room for one unexpected discovery. At The Night Watch, size, light and group composition help you look beyond the famous title.
Objects alongside paintings
Dolls’ houses, furniture and applied art show materials and household life in a different way. Compare one interior object with a painted room from around the same period.
Building and garden as an ensemble
Cuypers designed the route, decoration and passageways; the garden stays open longer than the museum. See how the architecture supports national art history and where later fittings intervene.
Before you go
Museum daily 09.00–17.00, including public holidays; a start time is compulsory. The shop, café and gardens usually stay open until 18.00.
