The RKD - Netherlands Institute for Art History is one of the most important art historical information centres in the world, administering a unique collection of documentary, library and archive material on Western art from the late Middle Ages to the present. Documentation about Dutch art forms the nucleus of the collections. The RKD has an active collecting policy covering painting, drawing and sculpture as well as monumental art, media art, and design. You can consult our collections of visual, technical and press documentation as well as the library and archival collections in our study areas. Parts of the collections can also be accessed via https://rkd.nl/en/. If you are planning a visit to the RKD, you may find it useful to consult our website first. The core mandate of the RKD is to develop, explore, manage and promote its documentary, library and archival material. The staff members of the RKD regularly make scholarly or organizational contributions to exhibitions, publications, and symposia. The RKD plays an important supporting role for museums, universities, auction houses, galleries, art dealers and other institutions, as well as for independent researchers, collectors and other interested individuals. The RKD primarily serves professionals and students who wish to consult the collections for their work or study, but private individuals conducting art-historical research are also most welcome.
