The museum hosts around 2300 paintings, a feast of thought-provoking art for enthusiasts. Museum del Prado has something for everyone with its extensive collection of sculptures, drawings, and prints. It is home to the world-famous Hieronymus Bosch painting, The Garden of Earthly Delights.
The Rijksmuseum, or the State Museum, is located in Amsterdam, Netherlands, the city famously visited by backpackers around the world. The Rijksmuseum has seen many forms since it was moved to Amsterdam from the Hague.
