Rijksmuseum
The Rijksmuseum is the Netherlands' national museum of art and history, home of The Night Watch and The Milkmaid. It was an early mover in giving away ultra-high-resolution scans of its own masterpieces for anyone to download and reuse.

What hooked us
The wordmark does the heavy lifting: RIJKSMUSEUM in towering condensed caps, stretched across a Rembrandt like a title card, with that famous IJ ligature signing the whole identity. Beneath it a national institution runs ticket sales, wayfinding and a browsable collection without breaking register — photography of crowded galleries keeps the art in the company of actual people. Museums usually go hushed and beige online; this one goes loud, typographic and operational at once, and the confidence suits the building.
