RijksMuseum.nl: The National Museum of Amsterdam, the Netherlands, is the largest museum in the Netherlands, with a magnificent palace-style building and a large collection of world-renowned art treasures. The most famous work in the museum is undoubtedly Rembrandt's huge oil painting "Night Parade". In addition, the museum also exhibits many other fascinating and valuable collections.

The National Museum was originally located in one of the floors of the Royal Palace in Dam District. In 1815, the collection was relocated to the Quabon Yard on the canal in the center of town, but the building could not accommodate the large number of gifts and acquisitions, including a bequest from the collector Hu Pi in 1854 (for which the museum received Rembrandt's "Jewish Bride").

And the Gothic-style museum building we see today was built in 1885. The walls of the museum are entirely decorated with images of Dutch history and art, and the south side facing the museum square is covered with stained glass inlays depicting portraits of important figures in the cultural life of Amsterdam.

Originally the majority of the national collection was to be housed in this labyrinthine museum, which has since undergone numerous alterations and is now divided into five sections: painting, sculpture and decoration, Asian art, Dutch history, and a printing room, covering the 15th to 19th centuries.
