Can my 7-year-old come along?

No. The Rijksmuseum enforces the minimum age of 8 strictly, so younger siblings need another plan for the afternoon.

How early should we arrive?

The museum asks families to be there 15 minutes before the start.

How many tickets can we book at once?

Up to 15 people per booking, so a few families can go together on one order.

Is there more for families at the Rijksmuseum this month?

Yes. October is family month at the Rijksmuseum, with more family activities around the autumn break.

About

Everyone puts on a lab coat for this family workshop at the Rijksmuseum. A batch of art has just come in, and there might be a Rembrandt in it. On a tour of the galleries, kids and parents forge signatures, play a pigment game and take a materials quiz. Back in the studio they draw and use UV light and fiber analysis to spot a 17th-century fake.

€15 per person, adults need a ticket too
