Amsterdam's Rijksmuseum holds 4 works by Johannes Vermeer (1632–1675) — the city's entire known holding of this artist in a single institution.
Vermeer painted fewer than forty works in his lifetime, making seeing even one in person a significant occasion. His paintings of domestic interiors have a quality of suspended time and cool northern light that photography consistently fails to capture.

The Rijksmuseum is the definitive home of Dutch Golden Age painting — Rembrandt's Night Watch, Vermeer's Milkmaid, and over 8,000 other objects in a magnificent 19th-century building. Pre-book tickets; timed entry is required.
Planning your visit to Amsterdam
The Rijksmuseum, Van Gogh Museum, and Stedelijk Museum are all on the Museumplein and can be visited in a single day. Pre-book the Van Gogh Museum online — it sells out regularly. The Museumkaart (Museum Card) offers unlimited access to over 400 Dutch museums for one year and pays for itself quickly.
