  • This expansion aims to significantly broaden public access to its vast collection of art and historical artefacts, particularly in the south of the Netherlands.
  • The new museum will be made possible through crucial support from the Eindhoven municipality and ASML, a Dutch semiconductor chip manufacturer.
  • Scheduled to open in six to eight years, the facility will cover over 3,500 square metres in parkland near Eindhoven's central railway station.
  • The initiative reflects the Rijksmuseum's goal to make its collection, including Dutch Golden Age masterpieces, more visible and accessible to a wider audience.
