School Art Trips to The Netherlands
Where the creative juices are always flowing
Where contemporary edge meets historic charm, a school art trip to the Netherlands offers students an insight into one of the coolest art scenes around. Whilst the legacies of its big-hitting artists like Van Gogh, Rembrandt and Vermeer are kept alive in Amsterdam’s exquisite museums, the streets are lined with enchanting canals and brimming with architectural originality.
Explore the history of Dutch art at the Rijksmuseum, see the city from the water on a scenic canal cruise and tuck into a sticky stroopwafel as you stroll through the neighbourhoods.
