After four years of planning, considering, building, refining, testing, releasing, reconsidering, fretting, cropping, finetuning and re-cropping, Rijksmuseum launched Collectie Online—the successor to the Rijksmuseum’s ground-breaking Rijksstudio collections platform.

Here are some of the possibilities the platform offers:

  • Allow the viewer to look at zoomable high versions of all the objects the museum’s allowed to publish
  • Download all the images in high resolution for free
  • Allow the viewer to make collection of their favourite objects
  • Search through all the artworks, publications and user sets simoltaneously
  • Intant access to museum stories, catalogues and recommended works for further exploration
  • Linked data  to build up fine-tuned search queries to get at just the objects needed
  • Browse through the collection with thousands of pages highlighting objects fitting that category
  • Carefully curated pages to help the viewer find their way in the collection
  • Offer questions to the viewer and suggest them artworks that match your mood, vibe, or style
  • The viewer can decide what works should hang in the Gallery of Honour
  • Comparative study of the works in the collection
