    First broadcast: 18 Apr 2013.
    Andrew Graham-Dixon goes behind the scenes at the Rijksmuseum as the staff prepare to open the doors following a ten-year renovation, the most significant ever undertaken by a museum. Featuring over 8,000 works of art, Holland's national museum tells the story of 800 years of Dutch history and houses a world-famous collection including masterpieces by artists from Vermeer to Rembrandt. So, as the final paintings are rehung and objects settle into their new home, has the long wait been worth it?

    The stern of the HMS Royal Charles...
    When Queen Elizabeth visited the Rijksmuseum, they set out a route so the Queen wouldn't see this price of war... :D

      Think she knows that without the dutch, she would never have been a queen at all.

    A little mistake in the documentary by our otherwise awesome host. That is not the prow, but the stern piece of the Royal Charles.

    Colonialism was not exactly fair trade. When I see some exquisite old buildings and arts (which I admire) in Europe, I can't help thinking where a lot of the old wealth came from originally. No doubt without the creativity, intelligence, and industriousness of the people in Europe, these things would not have existed, but also don't forget a bigger picture of the history.

      The bigger picture is.
      If you ship a huge amount of products around the world you can make a lot of money.
      From st petersburg to Japan from silk to corn.
      Except wood we needed it our self.

    Grave mistake by what I assume to be the editor of this documentary. When the host mentions "Vermeer's hymns to domesticity" at 10:58, the sceen shows 2 paintings from Pieter de Hooch and 1 from Vermeer. Despite Hooch's paintings occasionally sharing similar themes and even stylistic traits with Vermeer, it baffles me that such mistake when beyond the post-production stage.

    "never produced enough agriculture to support itself"... Well, that has changed a bit.

    again with the Black-Spanish-Legend... get over it, it was all mostly propaganda!

    • @Jeroen3052

      Many of "spanish soldiers" where german mercenaries. And some of them misbehaved a bit so to say, Spanish Fury, mercenary uprising that is, sacked Antwerp and held a rapine of appocalyptic proportions, scarring dutch and flemmish mindset toward Spain in general. Than spanish troops massacred a few towns and Garrisons after they surrendered in their reconquest. So propaganda or not, it was based on true events

      It's an English man telling the story.
      Maybe the English didn't get over it.

    This presenter is a jabbering snob. He glides past the magnificent model of the Prince William- one of the Rijksmuseum's great treasures, dismissively referring to it as a "Man of War" then calls the stern carving of the HMS Royal Charles a "prow." There is more to the place than paintings, but that's all he is talking about here, and talking faces -his in particular- is what we are seeing entirely too much of.

      exactly very short time to see anything, most of the time it is about the presentar face, and his exagerated acting
