Rijksmuseum Amsterdam
Tsja - is there a local name (or names - both positive and negative?) for the particular flavor of revival style Cuypers used? It's more or less Gothic revival, but with those wonderful contextual additions that make 19th century architecture so nationalistic and fun in Europe and so - hmmmm - arbitrary in America (we didn't have any logic behind our revival styles - it was whatever the patron wished to emulate). --MichaelTinkler
The style of the Rijksmuseum is a combination of Gothic revival and Renaissance revival(?) (neo-gotiek and neo-renaissance in Dutch). The protestants were not to happy with the gothic elements, because the referred to catholicism. They called the building ironically the 'episcopal palace'. --Tsja
Perhaps a explanation of what Rijk stands for should be included. Something like national, right? --rmhermen
Rijk means something like realm. Koninkrijk means kingdom. Keizerrijk means empire ruled by an emperor (Ceasar --> keizer). It shares roots with the German word Reich. Rijksbegroting means budget of the national government and "Werken voor het Rijk' means working for a national government agency such as a ministery. --GQEQR
Is there really only one Rijksmuseum in the Netherlands?
S.
- Actually, no. There are several other ones, such as the Rijksmuseum van Oudheden and the Rijksmuseum Volkenkunde, both in Leiden. However, the name of the one in Amsterdam is simply Rijksmuseum, nothing more and nothing less. Jeronimo
Time
Im not fan of art, so what would be an average amount of time somebody would take to observe the Rijks bakerboy4
- A single observation can be carried out in approximately 0.01 seconds, depending on your visual stimulus limit. Walking through it would take about three hours ;o).--MWAK 16:47, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
I saw this category : Category:Art_museums_and_galleries_in_Amsterdam
does this mean this page needs update? editors pls respond. Thx, Ron
Rijksmuseum Schiphol
Both the German and Dutch wikipedia pages say there is, or at least was, an annex of the Rijksmuseum in Schiphol Airport. Ideally this article would explain; was it just a temporary exhibition, or a regular thing? I can't find anything about it on the Rijksmuseum's own website. -- Finlay McWalter | Talk 12:36, 23 October 2008 (UTC)
- I think it lasts until the renovation is finished which lasts years longer than planned. By the way, during the renovation the museum visitors have to pay the full entrance price while only a small portion of the collection can be seen. I wonder why that is not in the article.

The Bridal Couple
I recently got my hands on a portrait. F35. Rembrandt The Bridal Couple, 20-24 It also has pencil markings on the back It seems like the painting is on canvas and the frame is aged wood, ivory color with detail
How do I know what this painting is worth, if anything.
Thank you,

- I'd suggest taking it to an expert. It's 99.999% likely to be a fake and/or reproduction, and they'll be able to tell you within seconds of seeing it.62.12.14.24 (talk) 13:58, 13 April 2013 (UTC)
