Rijksmuseum Official Website

The institutional website of Amsterdam's national museum, and how it compares to third-party resellers.

The Rijksmuseum's official website is the most authoritative source for hours, ticket prices, and special exhibitions. Use it alongside our opening hours and free and reduced tickets pages when planning.

Official URL

The Rijksmuseum's official website is www.rijksmuseum.nl. It is available in Dutch and English and contains the authoritative calendar of exhibitions and events.

Should I buy tickets there?

You can — the official site sells tickets directly. Third-party resellers (like this one) offer the same entry but bundle extras such as 24-hour cancellation, guided tours and combos with other Amsterdam attractions. Compare what you need before choosing.
