5. Rijksmuseum

MUSEUM QUARTER / VONDELPARK.   Suffice it to say that this astounding museum, one of the world's finest, boasts some of history's most amazing artworks. More than 7 million objects comprise its collections, which include prints, paintings, sculpture, Asian art, and works detailing the history of the Dutch nation. Dating back to 1798, the museum also hosts works by such notables as Vermeer, Goya, Van Dyck, Rubens and van Ruisdael. It bestows a place of prominence on 'The Night Watch,' perhaps Rembrandt's most famous creation. However, until renovation work is completed on the main building (estimated 2013), only part of the museum is currently open, featuring 'a best of' selection of masterpieces. Additionally, every Friday it's open until 8:30pm with a special programme of events such as talks (in Dutch) or music.   (© 10Best)

For 9 Euros, I viewed some of the most masterful classical art, sculpture, and exhibits I've ever been exposed to. Only a portion of the Rijksmuseum was open due to construction when I went, but the works displayed were exquisite. Worth every bit of payment! We were even told we could photograph pieces, as long as we turned the camera flash off. If we'd had more time, I would have lingered much longer than the hours that we were there. I'll definitely return.
