Amsterdam - Dutch National Museum Rijksmuseum
|
|
The world-famous Dutch National Museum of art goes back to the time of King Louis Napoleon who wanted to make Amsterdam a center for art and science. In 1809 he set up the Grand Musée Royal in his palace on the Dam. Works from the national museum in The Hague, which had been opened in 1798, and a few pieces belonging to the city (including Rembrandt's "Night Watch") formed the basis for this museum, which grew swiftly with the purchase of various collections.
