Until 2013 the Rijksmuseum is undergoing extensive renovation. While the restoration of the main building is underway, the Rijksmuseum is displaying the crème de la crème of its permanent collection in the newly furnished Philips Wing. 'Rijksmuseum, The Masterpieces' offers the unique opportunity to view all the highlights of the Golden Age in one place.

The Rijks- museum exhibits its most beautiful prints and drawings of tulips from the 17th and 18th centuries. Individual tulips, tulips in bouquets, in the garden, as the design for a silver ornament, and featured in allegorical scenes. The highlight of the presentation will be the tulip book created by Jacob Marrel between 1637 and 1639. Complete tulip books are extremely rare, and the Marrel is seldom exhibited in public.

The breakthrough into modernity 
In 1889, during the Paris World’s Fair, Paul Gauguin showed a series of prints which was to become known as the Volpini suite. This exhibition is the first to examine in depth this series of lithographs, which played such a crucial role in Gauguin’s development into a modern artist.
