Why this location works so well
Artistic
Surrounded by world-class museums and wide open lawns, Museumplein offers a clean, stylish setting for portraits that feel elevated but still approachable. The iconic façades of the Rijksmuseum and the Concertgebouw add instant character to any photo.
​
Spacious
With its open layout and long sightlines, this area gives us plenty of space to move freely, explore angles, and shoot without interruption - especially in the quieter morning hours or just before sunset.
​
Balanced
Museumplein works beautifully for solo portraits, couples, or personal branding sessions. It offers both striking backdrops and soft natural elements, making it a versatile choice for anyone looking for timeless images with a calm, city feel.
A bit of history...
Once an open field on the edge of the city, Museumplein was transformed in the late 19th century into Amsterdam’s cultural heart — a spacious square designed to connect art, architecture, and public life. Today, it’s home to some of the world’s most celebrated institutions: the grand and historic Rijksmuseum, the thought-provoking Van Gogh Museum, the contemporary Moco Museum, and the renowned Concertgebouw, known for its near-perfect acoustics.
This area reflects the city’s deep appreciation for creativity, history, and design. With its wide lawns, long sightlines, and striking facades, Museumplein offers a quiet elegance in the middle of the city — making it one of Amsterdam’s most refined and inspiring locations for a portrait session.
Your session will begin just outside the Museum Shop beneath the Rijksmuseum arch — an easy-to-find meeting point right at the center of it all.
