Overview

The Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam is more beautiful than it has ever been. The original interior has been recovered under the direction of Cruz y Ortis, so that architecture and décor once again form a coherent whole. This beautiful richly illustrated book - which includes maps and many photographs of the interior, illustrations, and views of the building - takes you on an amazing journey through the architectural highlights of the Rijksmuseum, the highlights of the collection - including Rembrandt, Vermeer, and Van Gogh - and out into the beautiful garden.

The book is also published in Dutch: Rijksmuseum: Het gebouw, de collectie en de groene buitenzaal, ISBN 978 90 8964 899 0
