Rijksmuseum Amsterdam
Schiphol
The Rijksmuseum Amsterdam
Schiphol contains works by masters of the Dutch Golden Age. It is located
inside the airport terminal beyond passport control on ‘Holland Boulevard’, the corridor
connecting the E and F Piers. Passengers can view a selection of works by
famous masters of the Dutch Golden Age, all from the Rijksmuseum collection.
The
museum consists of a suspended, gold-coloured space and a shop, located below
the museum.
The
Netherlands Institute for Cultural Heritage (ICN) has performed an extensive
study into the possible effects of vibration, climate conditions, and security
aspects. The design of the suspended, gold-coloured space is based on the
results of these studies. The two large glass windows in the museum were
designed especially for the Rijksmuseum Amsterdam Schiphol.
