Museum garden, Museum garden at Rijksmuseum, Netherlands
The Rijksmuseum gardens contain geometric hedges, seasonal flower beds, decorative fountains, and classical sculptures spread across multiple terraced sections and walkways.
The garden design originated in 1901 as part of Pierre Cuypers' vision to integrate nature with the museum's architecture through traditional Dutch landscaping patterns.
The gardens incorporate a medieval herb section, renaissance-style parterre layouts, and contemporary art installations that reflect different periods of Dutch garden design.
The gardens remain open daily from 9:00 to 18:00, offering free entry through multiple access points around the Rijksmuseum building perimeter.
A collection of historical garden pavilions from 1735 stands within the grounds, featuring ornate sculptures created by Ignatius van Logteren.
