During the renovations between 2008 and 2014, Koninklijke Woudenberg carried out the shell restoration of the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.

The scope included the extensive restoration of the facades and roofs of the main building and the courtyards.

During the same period, the Restoration Company, now 225 years old, restored and renovated the outbuildings: the Villa, the Teekenschool, and the Philips Wing, commissioned by the Central Government Real Estate Agency.

Many restoration carpenters, masons, joiners, sculptors, and stonemasons contributed to the restoration and preservation of this iconic national monument.

In this presentation, Johan den Hartog, who started as a work planner in 2008 and left Amsterdam in 2014 as a project manager, will take you on a journey through the restoration process, the challenges, and, of course, the crucial craftsmanship.
