  Impressive exhibit about the Neo-Assyrian kingdom: Nineveh. Until March 2018. Beautiful Greek urns, as well.

  I hadn't expected it to be so much. It took me 3 ours to only look at the Nineveh part. Though it was fun and I recommend it.

  A must see if you would like to know more about the rich history and heritage of the Netherlands. The RMO is a forward thinking place with an extremely important and storied legacy itself. Collection (Dutch archaeology but also Egyptian) is stellar. Add to this its central and beautiful location and you've got all the ingredients for a great day out (or two).

  This is the best antiquities museum in all of the Netherlands and it houses some spectacular pieces. Especially the Egyptian wing is fascinating with its collections of mummies and ancient statues. Combined with the other departments, including Greek and Roman ones, it provides a coherent and clear picture of the ancient Mediterranean and its remains.

  Nice museum but I wouldn't say they have many unique items if you have already been to similar museums.

  Based on its permanent collection, I'd say this is the best historical museum in the Netherlands. It's temporary exhibitions are often very good as well.

  I'm not reviewing the exhibition, which is superb (I'm sure experts in antiquity can do this better than me).
  The refurbished rooms look lighter and less crowded than before, the cafeteria, toilets, etc also look modern.
  The only issue is that the collections still show text ONLY in Dutch. The period explanation is bilingual but NOT the description of the items. I wonder why this couldn't be done by now.

  I love the RMO. It's a wonderful archaeological museum with great collections. There's a lot to see, so make sure you have at least 1-2 hours. The renovated Egyptian galleries are beaaautiful!
