An excellent museum. I think it is a bit underrated. I just died when I was in front of Caravaggio's paintings!

Nice collections and some of their rooms are really stunning. (The dark blue centered one, can't remember its name). The shop has nice 1 euro postcards and overall it's good. Caravaggio paintings are worth it.

OMG! The best way to spend a cold rainy Sunday (or any day in fact, and most certainly more days than one, too difficult to absorb all this beauty ) . Also very nice cafe to take a break to rest your eyes and feet.

The museum is very good, Magnificent works of art. Some of the staff are rude and not friendly. There are many discounts but not for seniors.

If you love Art you'll love this place. It has 3 Vermeers (unfortunately 2 were on loan when I was there), paintings by Titian, Metsu, Rembrandt and Caravaggio. Also many other artists which I have never heard of. It's huge you could spend all day there. I'd recommend doing some research on the paintings you would like to see before going in, if you're on a time limit. Staff were friendly and helpful.

Fabulous museum with a great collection. If you want to see everything well, plan for about four hours.

While the collection is vast and varied and it can take hours to go through the well-organized galleries, the height at which many of the paintings are hung combined with the distance at which you have to stand and aggravated by the greenish-tinted protective glass and overhead skylights makes actually viewing the paintings almost impossible.

I kid you not. There's so much glare on the paintings that in some cases half of the painting is obscured. I am not certain if it's better if you're taller, but it doesn't matter. Museums should take into consideration all people of all heights when hanging their art.

I traveled 5,500 miles to see their Rembrandts and am disappointed at how little of the images I could actually see through the glare.

As a student of painting and as an artist, being able to see the entire image and to also be able to move in close enough to discern technique are vital one's improvement and education.

I attach the best images I could get by angling my camera obliquely to the paintings, not a good way to get an undistorted image for later study.

There is no substitute for in-person study and this collection is, for the part, hung in such a way as to utterly frustrate that endeavor.

I gave the museum 4 stars for the variety and completeness of the collection but maybe it ought to have been 3 because it was impossible to see the paintings in their entirety free from glare.

Great collections of Renaissance paintings - Rembrandt, Rubens, Caravaggio just to name a few. I spent three hours there and managed to go through 2/3 of the rooms. The lighting was decent but the most important paintings had class cover which caused reflections. I enjoyed the pencil drawings in one smaller rooms (most people walked past it)! It gave great perspective to the darker parts of the human mind of that era.

A wonderful gallery full of an astonishing amount of paintings, many of them up to 700 years old! The guards are over zealous that is my only criticism. I walk pretty fast around larger galleries and museums as my brain can only take about an hour and then it is full up. I go around fairly fast and stop at what catches my eye. The guards found this suspicious though I was accompanied by a pretty woman and am in my 40s and dress as an unassuming man does - which is to say I am not in the least rock n roll. Anyway at first it was quite funny - you walk forward three steps and so does this guard, back and back she goes. But after a while it became tiresome. Still, I recommend this gallery whole heartedly. Lots of great paintings, lots of freakishly drawn babies. Thank god painters finally figured out how to draw babies.
