The Rijksmuseum has solved the problems with the ticket sales system. A spokesperson for the museum says that tickets for the exhibition are available again Vermeer are sold.
Extra tickets for the exhibition went on sale on Monday, causing a stampede and the Rijksmuseum website to come to a standstill. The extra tickets became available because the museum is offering more evenings and has extended the closing time to 11 p.m.
Due to the high demand, consumers are now given metered access to the ticket site. “As a result, the online ticket shop may be closed for a short time,” says the spokesperson.
The exhibition Vermeer can be seen until June 4. The exhibition is special because 28 paintings by Johannes Vermeer have been collected. That is a large part of his well-known work. He made a total of 37 paintings. Vermeer is famous for, among other things The girl with the pearl in The milkmaid.
