Accessibility

The Rijksmuseum belongs to and is for everyone. We believe it is important that all visitors, with or without disabilities, feel welcome. That is why we are working to create a museum that is accessible both physically and in terms of content, for young and old, and for people with different needs. Whether you want to enjoy the museum at your own pace, need assistance, or are looking for additional information. Read more here about the facilities, resources, and special programs.

Accessibility

The Rijksmuseum strives to be as accessible as possible. For example, there are several accessible parking spaces in the vicinity of the museum.

Winter village scene with a frozen river; dozens of people are ice skating, walking, and socializing on the ice, surrounded by thatched cottages, a wooden bridge, windmills, and leafless trees. In the background, a ship is docked at a wooden pier.
