The Rijksmuseum is on my top 5 list of museums I've ever visited, along with the Vatican Museum, the Louvre, the Met and the Uffizzi.

There are a lot more interesting works in there including Vermeer, other Rembrandt works, Pieter DeHooch, Rubens, the whole golden era of Dutch Renaissance...

Since you're in Amsterdam already save some time to visit the VanGogh Museum, very close to Rijksmuseum.

And since you're in Netherlands already save some time to go to Den Hag (the Hague) to visit the Maritius Huis museum and the cool M.C. Escher museum.

I loved the M.C. Escher museum. The art-deco decor of the building is on display nearly as much as Escher’s work.

I also highly recommend going to Rembrandt’s house/studio in Amsterdam.

Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna is very nice. The inside is basically a palace.

The sad reality is that if one is _already_ in Amsterdam, he or she has to spend a week or two more there just to be able to get into the VanGogh Museum.
