Rijksmuseum
The Rijksmuseum is the famous national museum dedicated to arts and history in Amsterdam. The museum was founded in The Hague in 1800 and moved to Amsterdam in 1808, where it was first located in the Royal Palace and later in the Trippenhuis. The current main building was designed by Pierre Cuypers and first opened its doors in 1885.
On 13 April 2013, after a ten-year renovation which cost €375 million, the main building was reopened by Queen Beatrix.
The museum is the largest art museum in the Netherlands, and has on display 8,000 objects of art and history, from their total collection of 1 million objects from the years 1200–2000, among which are masterpieces by Rembrandt, Frans Hals, and Johannes Vermeer.
New sea lock project IJmuiden
A new large sea lock is being constructed at the entrance of the North Sea Canal at IJmuiden that will provide access to the Amsterdam port region.
After almost 100 years in operation, the old Northern lock is to be replaced with a new, larger lock system to provide improved access to the port of Amsterdam.
The new €500 million lock will be 500 metres long, 70 metres wide and 18 metres deep, making it the world’s largest sea lock.
Construction began in January 2016 and the new lock will be available for shipping at the end of 2019 allowing 24 hour access to the port of Amsterdam.
SHIP is the sea lock and port information center which will open its doors in March 2017. We would like to take you on a tour through the construction of the new and biggest sea lock in the world and the activity in the port.
Also it is a unique location to have lunch and walk around to get a feeling of how the new lock will look like.
