Rijksmuseum

The national museum of the Netherlands

The Rijksmuseum opens its doors for an extraordinary night of Dutch Golden Age masterpieces, live music, and guided tours through centuries of history.

On Museum Night, the Rijksmuseum transforms into a stage for the arts. Wander through galleries lit only by candlelight, listen to live chamber music echoing through the Hall of Honour, and stand face-to-face with Rembrandt's Night Watch without the daytime crowds. Special guided tours reveal hidden details in the collection, while the museum's grand atrium hosts a late-night DJ set that blends classical motifs with contemporary beats. The museum's famous garden is also open, with illuminated sculptures casting dramatic shadows on the historic façade.
