Rijksmuseum

I love this guide and I love that it is free, good to save yourself €5. However I can’t stand the weird whispers they have at the beginning and end of each audio clip. They are horrible and loud.

10 stars!

We’ve done several museums and sites on our trip, including Versailles, Musee d’Orsay, and the Van Hogh. This has been the easiest to use, allows me to use my own earbuds, and I’ve appreciated the descriptions. I’m not generally knowledgeable about art, and the narration points out just enough background and subtle intent/meaning to make it enjoyable without being overbearing. And it’s free!

I pretty much never write reviews for apps, but this app made exploring the Rijksmuseum super easy and fun. I would highly recommend downloading it for your trip.

My account was connected to Facebook, but this app don’t have option to log in with Facebook.

Folks...same yourself €5 (what you will pay for the audio guide at the museum) and get this app for free. They are the same thing! I verified this with the museum!! Easy to navigate, the app has various tours from highlights to different collections. GPS helps you navigate from area to area (you’ll need to use the museum’s WiFi). Each description is around a minute and gives details beyond what printed signs have. There are also additional details if you want to learn more. I don’t have an art background so I appreciated hearing about techniques of the artist or interpretation of how they used light or symbolism in their work.

One of the best apps I've ever seen. You tell it how much you want to see. I told it I wanted the quick tour. It knew where I was and sequentially directed me to about 20 artworks. It displayed the artwork on my phone (sometimes it was too crowded to stand in front of the art for an extended time). Meanwhile, it gave a concise audio explanation of the artwork. It was better than the paid tour.

I always try to get an audio guide at museums and was really pleased to learn this app provides a free one! Unlike a typical audio guide, you could select from a variety of different “tours” and type in the numbers from individual works. I loved the flexibility this provided. We did the highlights tour and a special exhibition tour - both were lovely! Also the app features a map / GPS that directs you to the next work in each tour, which is incredibly helpful for a huge museum like the Rijksmuseum!

This app was very informative & easy to use. Would definitely recommend downloading before you visit the museum!

I am attempting to purchase my tickets using the app ahead of my business trip. I can see that the ALL Rembrandt exhibit availability does not align with my trip. So I just want to purchase my general admission tickets for €19.00 each. However, there is no information indicating that if I purchase tickets today, will they be good during my trip. I have searched the app and cannot find anything as to the duration of validity for my advance ticket purchase. I cannot proceed without this information. There should at least be a sentence or two early on in the ticket selection/purchase process with this information. I am disappointed.
