19 to 25 October: Get up close

For curious kids, a weekend all about science.

Always book a start time

Start time

24 & 25 October: Scientific drawing

Investigate by drawing! Grab a magnifying glass and discover all the details, just like artist and scientist Maria Sybilla Merian. Capture everything you find out in a beautiful pen drawing. Just head for one of the easels in the museum’s Great Hall.

Pay close attention when booking this program. It is only offered during the days mentioned above. On the other days there is a different theme.

Important reminder!

We’ve introduced some new ways of doing things here at the Rijksmuseum – like fewer visitors at any one time, for example, and extra hygiene measures. To visit the museum you’ll need to book a start time in advance. A booking for one of the activities doesn’t grant admission to the museum.
