I liked the exhibit, although I thought it would be larger, and the architecture of the building. It was nice to learn about the history of this country. It would be nice if other famous paintings of Rembrandt and Vermeer were there.

Very great experience to visit the museum with a combined ticket with 1 hour of navigation on the Amsterdam canals. It wasn't possible to book a mid-day slot for the museum visit that morning, but thanks to the combination ticket I was able to plan a visit from midday onwards and then, go on with the mini-cruise, and be at the airport on time afterwards.

It was good to see several paintings again such as the Night Watch and several other classic paintings. Also nice to see the restoration.

Love this museum! Our guide was knowledgeable and did an excellent job. The audio glitches were unfortunate but not his fault. It was borderline infuriating that we missed 20 minutes of our tour because we had to wait so long for the elevator...and we missed several attempts because when a group including a stroller or carriage came out, the door closed so quickly we weren't able to get in with our wheelchair. In typical Dutch fashion, far too many obviously able-bodied folks got in quickly and the door closed.
