Rijksmuseum Plans Pricing
The Rijksmuseum data services are offered as a single free open-data plan. Access is gated only by an API key — issued instantly to anyone who creates a free Rijksstudio account at rijksmuseum.nl. The plan exposes the full set of REST endpoints (Collection search, Collection Details, Image Tiles, Rijksstudio user sets) plus the OAI-PMH harvesting protocol and bulk data dumps. There is no paid tier, no usage-tier upsell, and no enterprise contract — the museum's Open Data Policy (in force since 2002) and FAIR data principles commit the institution to keeping the data services free at the point of use. Commercial use of object images licensed CC0 / Public Domain Mark is permitted; modern works and museum building photography may carry CC-BY or other terms documented in the data policy.
