About the Rijksmuseum

The Rijksmuseum serves as the Dutch national museum for the country's art and history. It stands on Museum Square in the Amsterdam South borough, and its neighbors include the Royal Concertgebouw, the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam and the Van Gogh Museum. The museum was founded in The Hague on November 19, 1798, and in 1808 it relocated to Amsterdam, with its first home in the Royal Palace and a later one at the Trippenhuis. The Rijksmuseum is also the biggest art museum in the Netherlands.

Pierre Cuypers designed the current main building. Construction began on October 1, 1876, and the museum opened there on July 13, 1885. His design combines Gothic and Renaissance elements, and its interior and exterior are lavishly ornamented with allusions to the history of Dutch art. The building is made up of two squares, each with an atrium at its center, and a tunnel runs through its central axis, with the Gallery of Honour on the floor above.

A renovation that lasted almost ten years and cost €375 million ended with Queen Beatrix reopening the main building on April 13, 2013. The design for it came from the Spaniards Antonio Cruz and Antonio Ortiz, and Cruz y Ortiz also designed the Asian pavilion, which opened in 2013. Roughly 8,000 objects from a collection of one million, dating from 1200 to 2000, are on display, including masterpieces from Johannes Vermeer, Rembrandt and Frans Hals.

Pick the detail for your nozzle
In the Buildings settings, set Landmark detail to Print friendly to adapt thin parts and small details to the print scale. Full detail keeps every modeled feature, for larger prints or a finer nozzle.
Colors
Buildings, roads, water and ground arrive as separate filament slots in the 3MF. The Rijksmuseum takes the building color.
File format
You get a 3MF for Bambu Studio, OrcaSlicer or PrusaSlicer. Any of them can save it as STL if you need one.

About this model

The Rijksmuseum is one of more than 2,300 landmark models in Mini Skyline. They are made with AI, and each one is checked from four sides in its real surroundings before release. Everything around it is built from OpenStreetMap and Overture map data. If you would rather print the shape from map data, turn off Landmark models in the Buildings settings.

Common questions

Is there a Rijksmuseum STL I can download?

Mini Skyline builds the file for you in your browser and exports 3MF, which every major slicer opens. If you need an STL, open the 3MF in your slicer and export it from there.

How big can I print it?

Any print size from 40 mm across. The Rijksmuseum grows with the print: about 15 mm tall on the default 160 mm print. For a model larger than your printer bed, Project Mode splits the area into tiles.
