Amsterdam: Rijksmuseum Private Tour with an Art Historian

Discover the Rijksmuseum on a private tour with an art historian. Explore key works of the Dutch Golden Age, uncover hidden stories, and enjoy a personalized experience.
Meet your guide, a professional art historian, and head inside the iconic Rijksmuseum. Curate your visit entirely around you. Instead of trying to see everything, focus on what truly matters: key works of the Dutch Golden Age, surprising details hidden in famous paintings, and overlooked artworks that quietly tell powerful stories.

Encounter world-famous highlights like Rembrandt and Vermeer — but always with fresh context. Learn why these works mattered then, how they were made, and what most people miss when they stand in front of them. Social history, symbolism, technique, politics, and daily life all come together in clear, accessible storytelling.

Feel like you’re walking through the museum with a knowledgeable friend who loves art and knows how to make it come alive. There’s space for questions, curiosity, and conversation — whether you’re an art lover or visiting a museum “just this once.”

Adapt the route to your interests: painting, sculpture, colonial history, maritime power, portraits, or hidden personal stories behind the artworks. Let your guide read the room and adjust the pace and focus accordingly.
