The Kingdom of the Netherlands has been an important European center for many centuries and the best achievements of painters and jewelers, industrialists and writers have taken their place in numerous museums in Holland. The expositions of the exhibition halls and galleries in The Hague and Amsterdam, Haarlem and Rotterdam serve as a center of attraction for many travelers who are not indifferent to the history of the development of human culture.
Guardian of the "Night Watch"
The most famous Dutchmen, who created immortal canvases, are well known to admirers of painting. The names of Vermeer and Hieronymus Bosch, Jan Steen and Frans Hals adorn the walls of the exhibition halls of the Rijksmuseum, but the apotheosis of his collection was and remains Rembrandt's "Night Watch".
The Rijksmuseum has gathered within its walls the richest treasures of the culture and history of Holland, created in the period from the 12th to the 20th century. Tableware and furniture, sculptures and fabrics, paintings and jewelry - the famous Holland Museum can act as a fascinating history textbook.
Taste and color
Thousands of tourists come to the Kingdom of the Netherlands every year. They are all very different people, whose tastes and outlook on life can be diametrically opposed. The museums of Holland, where dozens of thematic expositions of a very different nature are open, can please everyone and at once.
Despite the solid ticket prices, the halls of Madame Tussaud's Wax Museum are invariably full, where you can find out what the author of The Night Watch looked like and how long Salvador Dali wore a mustache. The Amsterdam Exposition became the first branch of the London Museum and is open daily on Dam Square.
Almost all tourists drop into the Cannabis Museum and are surprised to find that this plant is used not only for fun. Its industrial and medical applications truly have no boundaries, which the exposition demonstrates in a very interesting and convincing manner.
