The Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam was the most visited museum in the Netherlands in both 2019 and 2020. However, due to the impact of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, the number of visitors decreased sharply in 2020 over the previous year, passing from 2.7 million to roughly 675 thousand. Other popular museums in the Netherlands experienced a remarkable drop in attendance, as a result of the emergency restrictions put in place to limit the spread of the virus. For instance, the Van Gogh Museum attracted over two million people in 2019, whereas it recorded roughly 500 thousand visitors in 2020.
