Women in Art of the Dutch Golden Age with Reserved Entry (Max 6ppl)

Meet your guide, Martina, 15 minutes before the start of your two-hour private tour, in front of Café Cobra at Museumplein (by the parking and toilet entrance) with a red umbrella. Martina will welcome you with a smile and have your reserved-entry tickets ready, so you can skip the lines and begin exploring the Rijksmuseum without delay.

Martina is one of Amsterdam’s most highly rated private guides and a passionate art expert who grew up in London. Her tours are known for being both insightful and engaging — she reveals how women shaped the world of art, not only as muses but as creators, patrons, and storytellers in their own right.

Inside the Rijksmuseum, you’ll explore the Dutch Golden Age through a new lens — that of women. Discover the lives and works of female artists, the fashions and ideals that defined their image, and the complex roles they played as mothers, painters, and members of society. Learn how women were represented by male artists like Rembrandt and Vermeer, and meet the few but remarkable women who defied expectations to make their mark on art history.

This is an intimate private tour for up to six guests, allowing Martina to tailor the experience to your interests — whether you’re passionate about art, gender history, or simply curious to see the museum from a fresh perspective. Her thoughtful storytelling and lively explanations make this an enriching experience for all ages.

After the tour, you’re welcome to continue exploring the Rijksmuseum’s collection at your own pace, visit the museum shop, or relax at the café with views of the Museumplein.

Please note that special exhibitions may not be included. Large bags and umbrellas are not allowed inside the museum; only small handbags or slim backpacks are permitted.
