Teekenschool

The Rijksmuseum’s multidisciplinary education centre is housed inside the historic drawing school known as the 'Teekenschool'. After the renovation, the former school building has regained its original function as a place where people can pursue and develop their talents. The restored building is poised to be the largest centre for museum education in the Netherlands. Its three modern studios host a wide spectrum of activities, organized under the motto: ‘learning to look by doing’.
