The 1895 red brick neo-Dutch Renaissance museum has been fully renovated with the addition of a striking modern extension that acts as a new entrance to the museum.

The extension opens onto the open grassy expanse of Museumplein contains a shop and restaurant on the ground floor with a 1100m2 exhibition hall, library and 'knowledge centre' in the basement level.

Two escalators in an enclosed "tube", lead straight through the entrance hall, to connect the two lower exhibition area and the second exhibition space in the floating volume level.
