6. The Rijksmuseum is all about art, about images.
We want to share these images with everyone using
the internet. The technology is in fact about sharing.
That's why we have decided to put everything, free of
use, up to date, in the best quality, on the internet.
Knowledge needs to be shared.
Whatever you're looking for, you can download it and
use it as you like.
