Amsterdam…
Of course, I immediately recall the stories of who and how they tried weed in coffee shops, then the conversation flows to a discussion of the red light district, and then there is already “work in committees and commissions”?
But there is still a lot to tell about Amsterdam, and most importantly, to see it there.
Now about the Rijksmuseum, aka the State Museum or the Art Museum in Amsterdam.
And there is something to talk about. Let's start with dry numbers - more than two million visitors visit the museum every year! This figure is already impressive in itself, even before you get to the museum itself.
But in order.
Firstly, right in front of the museum is the well-known bright inscription "I Amsterdam". Of course, everyone who wants to go to the museum, along with those who are not going there, definitely want to capture themselves against the background, or rather right among this inscription. Couldn't we resist such a temptation?
In addition, in the pool in front of this inscription, there are 2 giant figures of Mickey Mouse with a purpose that I did not understand.
But, about the museum itself. Despite the rather high cost of the entrance ticket (26 euros for adults), more than two million people (I already wrote about this, but I'm just very impressed! ) visit it every year. According to such statistics, the Rijksmuseum belongs to the most visited museums in the world.
I highly recommend allocating at least 2 hours, and preferably more, to see the museum.
The works of world-famous masters of painting fill all floors and halls.
We were also lucky because during our stay in the museum there was an exhibition of the great Rembrandt.
But even when there is no specialized exhibition of this master, you can always see his famous "Night Watch", originally called "Performance of the rifle company of Captain Frans Banning Cock and Lieutenant Willem van Ruytenbü rg. "
A long, more than 7 meters, painting by Bartholomeus van der Helst with an equally long title, which I can’t even undertake to adequately translate “Officers and Other Members of the Militia of District VIII in Amsterdam Led by Captain Roelof Bicker and Lieutenant Jan Michielsz”.
The famous painting by Hendrik Goltzius "Lot and his daughters" ...
The hall with the works of Vermeer ...etc. , etc. , etc. ...
In short, you have to go and see! Highly recommend!
