Tsja - is there a local name (or names - both positive and negative?) for the particular flavor of revival style Cuypers used? It's more or less Gothic revival, but with those wonderful contextual additions that make 19th century architecture so nationalistic and fun in Europe and so - hmmmm - arbitrary in America (we didn't have any logic behind our revival styles - it was whatever the patron wished to emulate). --MichaelTinkler — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rmhermen (talkcontribs) 13:54, 13 November 2001 (UTC)[reply]

The style of the Rijksmuseum is a combination of Gothic revival and Renaissance revival(?) (neo-gotiek and neo-renaissance in Dutch). The protestants were not to happy with the gothic elements, because the referred to catholicism. They called the building ironically the 'episcopal palace'. --Tsja — Preceding unsigned comment added by Conversion script (talkcontribs) 15:43, 25 February 2002 (UTC)[reply]


Perhaps a explanation of what Rijk stands for should be included. Something like national, right? --rmhermen —Preceding undated comment added 13:54, 13 November 2001 (UTC)

Rijk means something like realm. Koninkrijk means kingdom. Keizerrijk means empire ruled by an emperor (Ceasar --> keizer). It shares roots with the German word Reich. Rijksbegroting means budget of the national government and "Werken voor het Rijk' means working for a national government agency such as a ministery. --GQEQR — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.56.206.141 (talk) 23:16, 11 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]


Is there really only one Rijksmuseum in the Netherlands?
S. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.168.172.202 (talk) 09:51, 24 September 2002 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, no. There are several other ones, such as the Rijksmuseum van Oudheden and the Rijksmuseum Volkenkunde, both in Leiden. However, the name of the one in Amsterdam is simply Rijksmuseum, nothing more and nothing less. Jeronimo —Preceding undated comment added 09:56, 24 September 2002 (UTC)[reply]

Time

[edit]

Im not fan of art, so what would be an average amount of time somebody would take to observe the Rijks bakerboy4 —Preceding undated comment added 00:29, 7 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

A single observation can be carried out in approximately 0.01 seconds, depending on your visual stimulus limit. Walking through it would take about three hours ;o).--MWAK 16:47, 26 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]



I saw this category : Category:Art_museums_and_galleries_in_Amsterdam

does this mean this page needs update? editors pls respond. Thx, Ron —Preceding undated comment added 23:24, 11 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Rijksmuseum Schiphol

[edit]

Both the German and Dutch wikipedia pages say there is, or at least was, an annex of the Rijksmuseum in Schiphol Airport. Ideally this article would explain; was it just a temporary exhibition, or a regular thing? I can't find anything about it on the Rijksmuseum's own website. -- Finlay McWalter | Talk 12:36, 23 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I think it lasts until the renovation is finished which lasts years longer than planned. By the way, during the renovation the museum visitors have to pay the full entrance price while only a small portion of the collection can be seen. I wonder why that is not in the article.

Requested move

[edit]
The following discussion is an archived discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: page moved. Rough but clear consensus to move and also to destination, and rightly so, even my Dutch friends don't expect me to have heard of any of the others. Andrewa (talk) 18:13, 29 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]



Rijksmuseum AmsterdamRijksmuseumRelisted. Vegaswikian (talk) 06:22, 19 December 2011 (UTC) Per WP:COMMONNAME. I have already moved Rijksmuseum to Rijksmuseum (disambiguation) and put a hatnote on this article. This is a clear cut case, Most people will think of this museum when seeing the word Rijksmuseum, other Rijksmuseums have an expanded title, e.g. Rijksmuseum van Oudheden. British Museum doesn't give a list of all museums which have the phrase British museum in their name. BTW for visiting Dutch Wikipedians what I am proposing is known on Dutch wiki as the "Amsterdam-constructie". SpeakFree (talk)(contribs) 00:31, 12 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The Bridal Couple

[edit]

I recently got my hands on a portrait. F35. Rembrandt The Bridal Couple, 20-24 It also has pencil markings on the back It seems like the painting is on canvas and the frame is aged wood, ivory color with detail

How do I know what this painting is worth, if anything.


Thank you,

Established: 31 May 1800 19 November 1798

[edit]

The decision to establish the national museum dates from 19 November 1798. The opening of the museum (in the first building: Huis ten Bosch)) was on 31 May 1800, which is a different thing. This information is from the article itself, so I'm feeling free to correct this in the infobox. --oSeveno (User talk) 09:37, 11 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
