Digital life of a closed museum
Ants and drops and glorious details
Tangible collection
Addictive collection
When is ‘Open’ Open
The Rijksmuseum is all about art, about images.
We want to share these images with everyone using the internet. The technology is in fact about sharing.
That's why we have decided to put everything, free of use, up to date, in the best quality, on the internet. Knowledge needs to be shared.
Whatever you're looking for, you can download it and use it as you like.
