What is Rijksstudio?

The Rijksstudio is part of the Rijksmuseum which is situated in Amsterdam.  They have created a website/app that you are able to create your very own Masterpieces from any of their pieces of Art which you are then allowed to reproduce anywhere, anyhow.  Their idea is to create awareness of the Masterpieces.

I have had the fortunate pleasure of visiting the Rijsmuseum (after it's upgrade) and spent the day marvelling at the Majestic pieces of Art.  Unfortunately, it was the Summer holidays in Europe, so the Museum was packed.  I would have loved to be able to visit the Museum again, with less people...maybe one day I will be able to do that.  But, for now, we are able to enjoy these beautiful paintings and other pieces of art in high resolution at our leisure and create our very own pieces from their online collections.

Click on the link above, scroll through the images until you find the Rijksstudio, sign up and start creating.
