Arts & Culture

The Rijksmuseum is my favorite museum to show guests as it has a stunning art collection with several paintings of Rembrandt, Frans Hals, Jan Steen, Vermeer and many other painters. It also has beautiful tapistries, china, glass and silver objects.

The Van Gogh Museum has the biggest collection of his paintings, drawings and letters. The exhibition shows you the phenomenal development Van Gogh went through during the decade years he painted before he took his own life.
