"If you're only going to visit one museum in Amsterdam, consider choosing the Rijksmuseum.
A docent told me it would take two days to fully explore all the museum has to offer on its 4-stories of art and surrounding gardens. The highlight of the tour is the second floor, featuring works from The Dutch Masters. The complete collection spans from ancient times through modern Dutch art, including a significant collection pertaining to Dutch colonialism.
Things to know:
The gardens are free to visit. They include some sculptural artwork, fountains, and seating. The architecture is picturesque as well.
The museum is cashless. Purchase your ticket for a reserved time slot on their website. You *can* purchase an additional audio tour. If you do, the museum provides you with a listening device and headphones. However, you can get the same audio tour for free on your smart phone once you're at the museum.
There is a gift shop and café inside the museum. "

"This is by far the largest and most well-known museum in Amsterdam. You could easily spend an entire afternoon looking at various genres and eras of art at the Rijksmuseum. For art lovers, there are some very iconic pieces of art here including Girl with a Pearl Earring, The Night Watch, and The Milkmaid that were very cool to see in person. However, your interest in art and the amount of time you have in Amsterdam will dictate how long you end up spending here."
