International Circle

Would you like to keep up with the Rijksmuseum’s international activities? And take an exclusive annual art trip? Become a member of the International Circle and join our global community of art lovers.

Art knows no borders

The Rijksmuseum makes ongoing loans of important works to exhibitions around the world. As a member of our International Circle, we offer you additional opportunities to learn more about our international activities alongside curators and art lovers from around the globe. You will receive invitations to exclusive events in the Netherlands and abroad, and for our annual art trip. You’ll also be entitled to unlimited access to the museum and many other extras. Above all, your support will help to keep the Rijksmuseum a world-class institution.
