Holland’s version of the Louvre is a must, and this tour will introduce first-time visitors to the impressive and expansive collection that curates Dutch history over the centuries. For those who aren’t familiar with Dutch culture, we will explore its rich and vibrant past through a selection of paintings and artifacts from the 8000 objects on display. We’ll explore familiar names like Rembrandt while discussing lesser known items like 17th century dollhouses and Vermeer’s portrait of domesticity, “The Milkmaid.” There’s even a fascinating 19th century library containing more stories than we could ever tell. By the end, you’ll have a good overview of the museum’s collection and you may even know how to pronounce its name correctly. Highlights Include: (if artwork is not on loan or being restored etc.) Rembrandt masterworks The Night watch The Jewish Bride The Syndics of the Drapers' Guild Vermeer's The Milkmaid 19th century library 17th century dollhouses, globes, ship replica, and Delft ceramics

5.00Frank gave us an excellent tour, including many bits of information that an average tour might have not included. We were directed to all areas of interest , many of which we would have missed on our own. Good communication and directions also.

5.00This tour was the highlight of our visit to Amsterdam. Anita, an art historian, expertly guided us through Rembrandt's paintings at the beautiful Rijksmusem and his home where he worked and lived. It was through her passion and lens that we learned so much about his life and work. We highly recommend this tour and Anita!
Wonderful!
