A Journey Through Time: Rijksmuseum's Historical Collections
The Rijksmuseum tours in Amsterdam is renowned for its extensive and impressive collection of art and artifacts that span centuries of Dutch history. The museum, opened in 1885, is a national museum of the Netherlands and is dedicated to the arts, crafts, and history of the country. Let's take a journey through time by exploring some key highlights from the Rijksmuseum' tickets historical collections:
Medieval Art (1200-1600):
The Rijksmuseum houses an array of medieval art, including illuminated manuscripts, religious artifacts, and sculptures. Notable works include intricately detailed altarpieces and religious paintings that provide insight into the religious and artistic practices of the time.
The Dutch Golden Age (17th Century):
This period, known as the Dutch Golden Age, was a time of economic prosperity and cultural flourishing in the Netherlands. The Rijksmuseum features masterpieces from renowned Dutch painters such as Rembrandt, Vermeer, and Frans Hals. Rembrandt's famous painting "The Night Watch" is one of the highlights, showcasing the artist's mastery of light and shadow.
Delftware and Decorative Arts:
The museum boasts an extensive collection of Delftware, the distinctive blue and white pottery that originated in the city of Delft. These ceramics were highly prized during the 17th century and remain iconic examples of Dutch craftsmanship. Additionally, the museum displays exquisite examples of decorative arts, including furniture and silverware.
Maritime History:
Given the Netherlands' rich maritime history, the Rijksmuseum has an impressive collection of maritime artifacts. This includes scale models of ships, navigational instruments, and maritime paintings. The collection reflects the nation's seafaring prowess during the Age of Exploration.
Asian Art and Artefacts:
The Rijksmuseum's collection isn't limited to European art alone. It also houses a diverse array of Asian art and artifacts, reflecting the Dutch East India Company's trading connections with Asia during the 17th and 18th centuries. This section includes ceramics, textiles, and sculptures from various Asian cultures.
19th-Century Romanticism:
The 19th century saw a shift in artistic styles, and the Rijksmuseum captures this transition with works from the Romantic period. Paintings from artists like Jozef Israëls and Johan Barthold Jongkind are featured, depicting landscapes and scenes that evoke emotion and introspection.
Modern and Contemporary Art:
The Rijksmuseum is not solely focused on historical art; it also has a collection of modern and contemporary works. This includes pieces by artists like Vincent van Gogh and Piet Mondrian, showcasing the evolution of Dutch art into the 20th century.
Visiting the Rijksmuseum is like embarking on a visual journey through the rich tapestry of Dutch history and culture. The diverse collections offer a comprehensive view of the artistic and historical developments that have shaped the Netherlands over the centuries.

In this Amsterdam vlog, I embark on a journey of discovery through some of the city's most iconic sites. I visit the Sex Museum, Rijksmuseum, and Red Light Secrets Museum, immersing myself in Amsterdam's unique history and culture. Plus, I challenge myself by attempting to speak Dutch with the locals and exploring some lesser-known areas of the city. First, I visit the Sex Museum, which offers a fascinating insight into Amsterdam's liberal attitude towards sex. I explore the exhibition, which includes a range of erotic artifacts, artwork, and even a life-size replica of a red-light district window. Next, I head to the Rijksmuseum, where I marvel at the Dutch Masters' masterpieces and learn about the history of art in the Netherlands. Afterward, I visit the Red Light Secrets Museum, where I take a peek behind the curtains of the infamous red-light district. I learn about the history of the area and hear stories from the women who work there. Throughout my travels, I attempt to speak Dutch with the locals, which proves to be more challenging than I anticipated. However, I have fun practicing and learning a few new phrases. Lastly, I explore some lesser-known areas of Amsterdam, discovering hidden gems and experiencing the city's unique charm. From picturesque canals to colorful street art, there's always something new and exciting to see in Amsterdam. Join me on this exciting adventure as I discover Amsterdam's rich history and unique culture. Don't forget to like and subscribe for more travel vlogs!

Pale Moonlight (Male!Reader x Nate Drake)
Requested by @jayfeather965 for  Definitely would enjoy a fic on the story between Nate drake and their male Catwoman-style character. History of their cat and mouse games?
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
It's always funny to take the great Nate Drake by surprise.
You slip your arm into his and reach over to pretend to straighten out a wrinkle in his suit, before pressing your lips to his stunned, slack ones.
"I swear, darling, you'd be lost without me!" you chuckle jovially, waltzing right past the guards.
You had stolen his tickets from his suit jacket's inner pocket, and handed them to the bouncer with practiced ease.
"What the hell are you doing?" he practically growls once you're both into the gala.
You wink. "Aw, Nate, you know you can't pull off a job like this on your own. Remember that exhibition at the Rijksmuseum?"
He looks even more dour. "Yeah, when you stole the artifact from me and left me to get taken to an Amsterdam prison?"
You flick you wrist dismissively. "I gave it back."
"So, there's someone else looking for this thing and you need a partner? Slash patsy if things go wrong?"
You pat his chest, admiring for a moment the feeling of his broad muscles under the suit. "Got it in one. Besides, the real crime would be seeing that cute little ass of yours headed back to jail. Again."
He frowns. "I still don't trust you."
"Smart of you."
"Probably will be good to have your... skills."
"We do the same things, Nate, my love. Only difference is you steal from dead people."
It must have been almost a decade back that you met Nate. He was a cute young guy, and completely starstruck when he saw you in your tight black garments you wore for thieving.
So starstruck he nearly forgot to chase you when you grabbed the artifact he needed and began to free run your way out of the museum.
You jumped and flipped through the air, with Nate scrambling to keep pace.
But finally he chased you to a high rooftop near the museum.
You smirked and blew him a kiss before flipping off of the roof, vanishing.
Over the years you've played your game with him, laughing at him as he always stays one step behind of you.
And just when the game would've gone too far, you backed down, letting him have an artifact, or stopping to dance with him at an event or helping him evade some guards by kissing him in an alcove.
Nate holds you tightly to him as you dance, both of you scanning the room for cameras and sensors. You know he's trying to keep you from fleeing, but the press is nice.
Besides, it's so easy when your hips are so close to feel the way he shudders when your hand slips under his lapel and cups his pectoral.
You stare in fascination at the way his Adam's apple bobs.
"Hey... are you getting distracted by me?" he asks in surprise.
"Yup. Anyone ever tell you you've got a nice ass?"
"Yeah, you."
You smirk. "You ever considered... us?"
He chuckles. "You really think I was chasing you down for artifacts all these years?"
You kiss him, making his eyes go wide. "Tell you what. You head to my hotel room and order dinner. We'll be each other's alibi. I'll meet you there."
He nods dumbly, and you cop another feel of his chest. "And Nate? Lose the suit by the time I get there."
You watch him leave, knowing you have it all well in hand.
Maybe tonight you'll make up for years of lost time, and you'll finally plunder the treasure you've been wanting for nearly a decade.

I'm going to Amsterdam for my birthday soon! Is there anywhere you reccomend going or general advice? I'm really looking forward to it :)
walk around the city center and look at the architecture, buy some food and drinks and have an improvised picknick by one of the canals (go and sit in one of the green spaces beside the streets/"in" the canals that they created recently), visit the secondhand book market at oudemanhuispoort, if you want to visit the anne frank house/the van gogh museum/the rijksmuseum: buy your tickets online in advance, browse secondhand english books at "the book exchange", visit begijnhof, the vondelpark is crowded and overrated in my opinion but the streets around it are beautiful, have a look around in the red light district if you must but it's not worth it spending a lot of time there (loads of drunken male tourists and the worst tourist trap shops and cafes you have ever seen), take any ferry to amsterdam noord and back again to see the water and feel the wind in your hair (it's free), and my best kept secret tip: for a walk in a more "authentic"/less touristic/still very picturesque environment: take the metro to noorderpark (only about 2 minutes from central station), then take a walk through the street nieuwendammerdijk and explore its side streets, and stop halfway for a cup of tea/coffee/a drink at café ‘t sluisje :)

Hi Sam! I know you've plans to travel Europe somewhat this spring and it sounds as if you already have a packed schedule but IF you happen to be in Amsterdam at all you might want to see the Vermeer exhibit at Rijksmuseum while you're there - they have about 3/4 of his paintings all together.
It is absolutely killing me that I didn't find out about this until after I'd made plans -- I saw it a few weeks ago and started trying to figure out if I could rearrange anything to get there.
I can't leave London earlier or get to Paris later, and the only day between the two is a single transit day I had planned to use to visit Brussels; Amsterdam is in the wrong direction -- essentially it'd be three hours London to Amsterdam, then four hours Amsterdam to Paris, with a gap inbetween to see the Vermeers.
It's doable, but it means skipping Brussels. In theory I could; I was planning on the Magritte museum but it's closed the day I'm in Brussels, so that's not a huge loss. But it also means I will be within shouting distance of Sam The Zebra, the real reason I was going to Brussels, and not get to see him, which would be a shame. It also means eating the cost of about $200 in train tickets and booking about $300 in new ones.
I still have a little time to figure it out. Vermeer is so, so tempting, and Magritte was already taken from me. But those nonrefundable tickets to Brussels really burn.
ETA: Ah, the Vermeer exhibit is sold out anyway :/

i’m going to amsterdam in a couple weeks so if you have any recommendations of what places to visit please share!!!! i also cannot sleep on planes, people don’t understand the struggle😵‍💫
hope you have a lovely time bee, you deserve it :))
- 🦔
Hi hedgehog!! I waited to answer this till I left Amsterdam so I could give you my full experience recommendations lol
We were supposed to have two full days in Amsterdam but due to our flight out being cancelled and rescheduled we ended up only having one so we didn’t do as much as we wanted to. But we went to the Rijksmuseum which is this gorgeous and huge art museum that I absolutely loved, but definitely only go if you’re into art museums lol. We also wanted to go to the Van Gogh museum which is right by where the Rijksmuseum is but they were sold out for the day we were there so if you wanna visit buy your tickets ahead of time
We also went to a very cool flea market called the Albert Cuyp market! Lots of neat stuff for sale and walking over there we found a few vintage clothing stores which were very fun to browse through. It’s a very pretty area in general with lots of shops so I highly recommend it
Also word to the wise: coffee shops in Amsterdam do not sell coffee, that’s where you get weed. You gotta search for cafes on your google maps if you wanna find coffee in the morning when you’re half asleep 😭 this morning we went to a cafe near our hostel called Latei that I ADORED. It’s a small place with really cute decor, and as someone who genuinely likes the taste of coffee and doesn’t like it to be super sweet, the coffee was so good. I also had a croissant with cheese and tomato on it and it might be one of the best breakfast sandwiches I’ve ever had highly recommend

NAME: Daan-Thomas Johannes Moers AGE: 38 GENDER: agender PRONOUNS: he/him DATE OF ARRIVAL: April 2023 JOB: Scavenger (art thief)
BIO: Daan-Thomas Johannes Moers - but more often known as Jossie - was born on the Caribbean island of Aruba, meaning 365 days of sunshine, wind, and the blue sea. He grew up among a melting pot of culture, food, and languages. Much like his peers, by age fourteen, he was fluent in at least three languages, knew how to charm the tourists, and dreamt of studying abroad. He was intelligent enough that his marks got him into VWO, the highest possible education, and a secured spot at a university in the Netherlands. His mother had made sure he kept up his Dutch, and extended family helped with housing and enrolment.    Growing up Jossie had always been interested in art. He got a job at the Museo Historico Aruba at fourteen, running tours, and helping with tickets sales and clean up. He wasn’t much of an artist himself however, he worked hard but found thinking about possible meanings far more enjoyable than actually making something. He went to student art history, with a later direction towards restoration. He was driven, precise, and a quick study. However, he had a hard time fitting in with the Dutch, finding that the friends he gravitated towards were always other expats. Even if his Dutch was nearly perfect, he found no way in. He befriended an older student from Suriname, who was an art major, and ran a network that located stolen art. Not stolen as in those fancy Hollywood movies, but stolen by the colonisers.    Jossie didn’t fall into it directly, he started a normal restoration job at the Van Gogh Museum, changed to the Rijksmuseum and went on a few month long programs all over the world to perform work for museums and private collections. When he decided he wanted to move back to Aruba, that was when he fell back in with this old friend of his. One thing led to the other: and Jossie became a part-time thief.   Aruba was his operating base, from where he flew all over the world to retrieve art that was stolen from former colonies. He married, had two children, worked at the Museo Historico Aruba, and was only gone 4 months out of the year.   When the world ended Aruba seemed to be a safe place. Food became scarce but the population managed, the first to succumb were the tourists. Jossie’s youngest died from a disease that could have easily been cured when the world still ran, and Jossie grew restless. He broke it off with his wife a few months before the island welcomed him, intelligent as he was, it took him only a few days to adjust to this new reality, and he took the opportunity gladly; using the teleporters to retrieve art with the biggest value. If humanity survived, they would need to be able to reflect, he had a mission. This was what the tower needed him for: to save and preserve.

So long as that woman from the Rijksmuseum in painted quiet and concentration keeps pouring milk day after day from the pitcher to the bowl the World hasn’t earned the world’s end.
Things I did in Amsterdam during the 6-hour layover I had on my way to France, back in November: got out of the airport as quickly as possible, rushed to the Rijksmuseum, paid €22 for the ticket even though I knew I didn't have enough time to see even 1/4 of the whole collection, ran across it to find the Milkmaid, found the Milkmaid (and some other Vermeers, as well as some Vermeer's contemporaries, which I also loved), saw like 4.5 other paintings, and then had to rush out and catch the tram back to the airport (barely making it in time for the other flight).
Do I wish I had more time to spend like, the whole afternoon at the museum and see most of the collection, instead of doing a speedrun and probably missing some gems? Yes. Does it mean I regret going? Absolutely not.
I mean, man. Look at that painting.

We’ll, if you were hoping to pop over to Amsterdam for the Vermeer exhibition, you are out of luck. Tickets went faster than those for a Taylor Swift concert, and all 450,000 are sold. Hoping the museum can free up some more spaces.

Ohh I was wondering! is it possible to visit both the Rijksmuseum and the Van Gogh museum in one day or are the museums just to big for that? For when I visit Amsterdam, would you recommend I visit the museums in one or two days?👀(sincerely, someone who loves art v much)
Alright. I went to Rijksmuseum for Rembrandt, Van Gogh, Vermeer and Jan Asselijn, and didn't pay a lot of attention to any other sections (besides the temporary exhibition I went there for). Even for these, it took a bit of time (2h). The wardrobe line is huge, and the museum is split in two by a walkable passage. Get the map from the info point otherwise you'll be lost.
If you want to visit these museums, BOOK TICKETS. The lines are huge and they request booked tickets in advance.
Timewise, I'd say 2h for the Van Gogh Museum. I must say, I almost started crying when reading the fragments of his life that were on the walls next to his paintings. I've been a big fan for years, but I must admit, I'll be forever moved by his life and life.
For Rijks, it took me a bit over 2h (wardrobe included). I went there for a temporary exhibition (Clara and Onderreepsels), which took me around an hour I'd say. Make a plan on what you'd want to see in Rijks, and maybe reserve 4-5 hours of your day if you want to see most (if not) everything. The gallery of honour is the main gallery that has the highlights of the museum.
(Also, between Feb 10th and June 4th, there's a Vermeer exhibition)
Mind the weather, get waterproof clothes. Even though I live close to Amsterdam, and had waterproof clothing, I still got wet and annoyed. Weather in the Netherlands is a lottery, that's all I can say. You either have good luck or bad luck.
I hope I was helpful enough, and you can dm me if you have other questions.

The Vermeer exhibition at the Rijksmuseum Amsterdam is so beautiful. I am so glad that I got tickets. It was lovely to see all of his paintings, especially those who had to travel to get here.
The paintings are all different sizes, hopefully it is visible here.

Hi Bee, hope your train ride is fun!
Fun fact: one of our smoke detectors decided it needed to let hs know the batteries were getting low at 4:30 yesterday and we did not figure out which one it was (and that it wasn’t stuck to the ceiling, so easy to get) ‘till 6 a.m.! I did not go back to bed after ripping the batteries out of its wretched carcass and it was a long day so despite getting a decent amount of sleep tonight, I am still tired.
Anyway, tell me about your day. You did Edinburgh, right? (Please tell I read the correct name) The picture we’re very beautiful and it looked like a really pretty day. Did you do anything other than visiting castles. Also what museum did you go to?
-🌲
Hi spruce ty!!
Oh NOOO literally there is almost nothing worse than a smoke alarm going off bc of low batteries. There’s basically nothing you can do till you figure out which one it is and even when you do sometimes taking the batteries out still doesn’t make the noise stop. It’s happened to me at like 2 am before it sucks so bad 😭 I’m so sorry spruce we are both running on very little sleep rn
Yes I was at Edinburgh yesterday!! It’s such a pretty city. But tbh I’m glad I spent most of my time in Scotland in Glasgow. Edinburgh is pretty but it doesn’t feel like a real place people live if that makes sense?? Like I know plenty of people do live there but it’s so touristy it just feels like a prop piece as Firesnap described it. Glasgow feels like more of a real city
I still had a lot of fun in Edinburgh tho!! I actually didn’t visit any castles bc the big castle in Edinburgh requires you book your tickets in advance and I didn’t know that 😭 all the pictures I posted where pics of cathedrals and other random monuments around the city. The buildings literally just Look Like That.
I went to two museums while I was there! The National Museum of Scotland (which was fun but the stuff they had on display isn’t really the kind of stuff I like to go to museums to se except for the fashion they had a whole fashion exhibit I was obsessed with), and then I went to the National Gallery. The Gallery was where I got to see all the gorgeous art and that’s definitely up there with the museums I went to. It was a smaller art museum compared to the Rijksmuseum and the Kelvingrove but the paintings they had on display were huge and stunning.
Also I went to this visual illusion museum type place that was really not worth the £20 admission price so the TripAdvisor reviews lied to me a bit. They said it was fun for kids and adults but it was definitely geared mostly to kids. But the staff working there were really funny and I got some cool pics out of it so I still enjoyed it
Oh also after the national museum of Scotland I went to this whisky and gin bar nearby and I had the best cocktail I’ve had in ages. Also I ordered a scotch egg there and it has to be one of the best things I’ve eaten on this trip. Scotch eggs are so good wtf
So my final rating of Edinburgh was very good for a day trip, glad I didn’t spend more than one day there though Glasgow definitely is a better place to spend your time at
