Rijksmuseum Amsterdam

I can thoroughly recommend a visit to this lovely museum which has only recently fully reopened after a restoration closure of ten years.
They have the good sense to only ban flash, rather than all photography.
I wish museums and art galleries in the UK would do the same.
Whilst taking care not to inconvenience other visitors, there is great pleasure to be had from photographing the exhibits.

I certainly agree re photography and banning flash. I get sick of being chased by mindless security guards (albeit they are following orders) trying to stop me taking photographs
