The Rijksmuseum is the largest national museum in the Netherlands and most important art museum in Amsterdam. Having said that, a trip to the Rijksmuseum can be tough going with young children. There are no mummies at this Dutch National Museum or any paintings of orange and yellow sunflowers. Established in 1809, the Rijksmuseum is home to some 900,000 works of art. The focus of the museum is Dutch art and culture from the 15th to the 19th century. Dutch Golden Age artists, including Frans Hals, Rembrandt and Vermeer, are the highlight of the collection. Seventeenth century still lifes, landscapes and portraits are among the museum's most prized paintings.
