Rijksmuseum is considered a true national treasure. Its exhibits include paintings from the Netherlands' 17th-century Golden Age by Rembrandt, Vermeer, Frans Hals and Jan Steen. Rembrandt's Night Watch is the museum's centerpiece. You'll also find works from the Middle Ages and the 18th and 19th Centuries, superb collections of silver and delftware ceramics, old doll's houses and fantastic examples of Asian Art.
