While Europe is filled with its fair share of incredible art museums, a couple stand out for containing some of the greatest masterpieces in all of Western art. What makes these works of art so important, and why are they 'must sees' when visiting the collection? From Ancient Greeks to contemporary times — and well-known works to little-known gems — it's time to dive into six of Europe's most renowned Western art museums and discover some of their most outstanding works of art.

Join New York Adventure Club for a six-part series that explores Europe’s six greatest museums and six of their greatest pieces of Western art that are considered some of humanity's most important. In Part Two, we'll focus on the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam. Meant to awaken the love for The Netherlands, this collection houses some of the greatest examples of Dutch art history.

Led by art historian, museum educator, and NYC lecturer Mariska Beekenkamp-Wladimiroff, this art-centric virtual journey through Europe's greatest Western art masterpieces will feature:

• An introductory history of the Rijksmuseum building and collection
• A close look at six seminal works: Marriage Portrait of Isaac Massa and Beatrix van der Laen by Frans Hals (1622) | The Night Watch by Rembrandt (1642) | The Milkmaid by Vermeer (1658-59) | Flower Pyramid after Lambertus van Eenhoorn (1700) | Girl in a White Kimono by George Hendrik Breitner (1894) | Square Man by Karel Appel (1951)
• Behind-the-scenes information on each of these works of art, including the makers of these works of art, the art historical period, the original context and place of display, the story being told, the importance in the development of the arts and for future artists, and some fun facts

Afterward, we'll have a Q&A with Mariska — any and all questions are welcomed and encouraged!
