Art changes depending on who is looking at it. In the galleries of the Rijksmuseum, centuries-old paintings meet the people of today — each visitor bringing their own memories, emotions and interpretations. These photographs capture those small encounters between people and art, where the past and present briefly share the same space.

Is there a smoking area at Rijksmuseum? We’re visiting in April, thanks. rl
You can smoke outside 🙂 Smoking in bars, restaurants, not to mention the museums – is not allowed in the Netherlands.
