Nightwatch hall, Exhibition room in Rijksmuseum, Netherlands.
The Nightwatch Hall stands as a central exhibition space within the Rijksmuseum, featuring advanced lighting systems designed to enhance the viewing experience.
Pierre Cuypers developed the architectural plans for this dedicated gallery space in 1885 as part of the original Rijksmuseum construction project.
The exhibition room presents Rembrandt's Night Watch painting, measuring 363 by 437 centimeters, which depicts the military company of Captain Frans Banning Cocq.
The gallery remains open from 9 AM to 5 PM daily, with multiple guided tours available in eight languages throughout the day.
Visitors can observe current restoration work through a glass chamber where experts analyze and preserve the Night Watch painting using advanced technology.
