\n\tThe Rijksmuseum, the national museum of the Netherlands in Amsterdam, announced today that it will partner with the municipality of Eindhoven to build a satellite branch in Eindhoven. The branch will show works from the Rijksmuseum\u2019s collection.<\/p>\n
\n\tWith a collection of over one million objects, the Rijksmuseum is famous for its holdings of Dutch art from 1200 to now, including works by Rembrandt van Rijn, Johannes Vermeer, Judith Leyster, Frans Hals, Rachel Ruysch, Vincent van Gogh, Karel Appel, and others. In pride of place are such masterpieces of Dutch Golden Age art as Vermeer\u2019s The Milkmaid<\/em> (c.\u20091660), Rembrandt\u2019s The Night Watch<\/em> (1642), and Hendrick Avercamp\u2019s Winter Landscape with Ice Skaters<\/em> (1608).<\/p>\n \n\tEindhoven, a city in the south Netherlands, is the home base of Philips\u2014formerly a consumer electronics giant and now a health technology firm\u2014which was founded in Eindhoven in 1891.
