Art at Amsterdam Airport

With a mini branch at Schiphol airport, the Rijksmuseum was among the first in the world to open in an airport. The area just past security between Lounge 2 and 3, dubbed Holland Boulevard, has been converted into a museum showcasing some of Netherlands’ greatest works of art. On display are 10 paintings from the Rijksmuseum collection. There is also a gift shop with souvenirs from famous Dutch museums, including the Rijksmuseum. The new exhibition makes Schiphol the only airport in the world with original 17th century artworks. Travellers flying into or out of Amsterdam will be able to transmute the base metal of slogging through airports into the purest Dutch Golden Age.
