Neighborhood Guide
Museumplein is a historic and dynamic area in Amsterdam that was once characterized by farms. At the beginning of the last century, the Museum Quarter was developed to provide more living space, influenced by architect Pierre Cuypers, known for the neo-Gothic style Rijksmuseum. The Concertgebouw, in neo-Renaissance style, further shaped the character of the neighborhood. With the arrival of the Van Gogh Museum and the architecture of Gerrit Rietveld, the neighborhood was further modernized. The range of restaurants, cafes, shops, and fashion houses such as Chanel and Ba&sh reinforce its international appeal. The location is ideal, with the city center, De Pijp, and Amsterdam Zuid—including Vondelpark—within walking distance.

National Museum
The architect, Pierre Cuypers, had made a design in historical style for the Rijksmuseum, a mixture of Gothic and Renaissance and full of national symbolism. After years of hassle - many thought it was too medieval, too Catholic and not really Dutch enough - construction started in 1876. It was officially opened in 1885. In addition to the existing collection, almost all older paintings from the City of Amsterdam were hung in the Rijksmuseum, such as Rembrandt's Jewish Bride, which the banker A. van der Hoop had bequeathed to the city. There was also art from Haarlem, part of the Cabinet of Curiosities was given a permanent place and the print room was given its own space. A worthy collection, in a magnificent building.
During the last renovation (2003-2013), the building was given back Cuypers' original structure. The building has been modernized, but at the same time the interior has become more like Cuypers' building again, in all its grandeur. Painting, applied arts and history can no longer be seen in separate parts of the building. Everything together forms one chronological story: the story about Dutch art and history, from the Middle Ages to the 20th century.
