Concurrently with American Photography, Carrie Mae Weems’s 2021 series Painting the Town will be on show in the Rijksmuseum’s photography gallery. At first glance Weems’ large and powerful works resemble abstract paintings. During the Black Lives Matter protests, campaigners wrote texts on the panels that shopkeepers had used to board up their windows as a precautionary measure. The authorities then rendered the slogans illegible by covering them with large patches of paint. The unintended result of this act of censorship was a series of painterly compositions. Weems uses her work to explore what it means to be a witness to history, through themes such as racism, sexism and discrimination.

Always an experience to come here! While it&rsquo;s often packed with tourists, it&rsquo;s still an interesting place to come and wander around. Also, there is a huge amount of history here, including the history of sex work, so definitely explore with an open mind and be respectful.

The best museum in Amsterdam by far, lots of things to see and easily a 3h+ visit to see everything. Much better value for money than Van Gogh&#39;s unless you are an extremely big fan of him.  Overall a must see and the best museum you can find in Netherlands generally.
