Rijksmuseum Guided Tour with Rembrandt's Night Watch

Explore the Rijksmuseum with an expert guide who connects its art to the society that shaped it. Look closely at the illusionism of still-life paintings, Rembrandt's portraits, and Jan Steen's family interiors as you discover the rise of the Dutch Republic's middle-class art market. Join a shared tour or explore with a private guide.

Individual artworks may be unavailable because of loans or conservation. Your admission remains valid for the rest of the day, so you can continue exploring independently after the tour.
