Rijksmuseum or Austin Healey Museum

The museum options for the day were either Rijksmuseum or the Austin Healey Museum ... the majority chose the Rijks ;-) .




The Rijks houses various masterpieces from especially 17th Century Dutch artists of the golden age.
Rembrandt's "Night Watch" is in the background amongst the crowd of hundreds of onlookers.
The museum was closed for more than 10 years during renovations and in the last few weeks reopened for visitors to the acclaim of Amsterdamers.  With lots of pent up demand from the public, the lines can be long yet.
