The renowned Rijksmuseum, the landmark Dutch institution housing iconic works by masters such as Rembrandt and Vermeer, has unveiled plans for a new branch in the southern city of Eindhoven. This expansion aims to significantly broaden public access to its vast trove of art and historical artefacts.
Currently, the Amsterdam-based museum holds a collection exceeding one million objects, with a substantial portion securely stored and not readily available for public viewing. The establishment of the new Eindhoven museum will be made possible through crucial support from both the local municipality and ASML, the Dutch semiconductor chip machine manufacturer, which is based in the nearby town of Veldhoven.
