The Rijksmuseum Bulletin is a quarterly peer-reviewed journal presenting scholarly articles that contribute to historical and art-historical research into the Rijksmuseum collections.

The Bulletin is read by an international audience of curators, scholars, students, art professionals and enthusiasts. Scientific research into objects and works of art by museum experts is often published in The Rijksmuseum Bulletin. However, authors from outside the museum are very welcome to contribute, providing their contributions add to the understanding of the Rijksmuseum collection.
