Art museum

Amsterdam’s art-museum density is the part most visitors come for — Vermeers, Rembrandts and Van Goghs within walking distance of each other, plus serious modern and contemporary collections, photography spaces, and a growing layer of new-media venues. This archive collects the city’s art museums in one place: the Rijksmuseum (Dutch Old Masters, 800 years of national art), the Van Gogh Museum (the world’s largest collection of Vincent’s work), the Stedelijk (Mondrian, De Stijl, postwar American painting, Pop, Minimalism), Moco (contemporary and immersive), H’ART Museum on the Amstel (rotating international shows), Foam (international photography on Keizersgracht), Nxt Museum in Noord (new media), and the smaller artist-house museums (Rembrandt House on Jodenbreestraat, Willet-Holthuysen on Herengracht).
