The great majority of the collections of the House of Orange-Nassau are managed by the Royal Collections of the Netherlands, one of the departments of the Royal Household. Its director is an officer of the Household. He is also responsible for the public activities of Koninklijk Paleis Amsterdam, including its opening to visitors and the exhibitions and symposia held there.
About us
The Royal Collections of the Netherlands can be seen as the accumulation of objects and sources of information that members of the houses of Nassau and Orange-Nassau, and people around them, have gathered and kept over many centuries. They are private possessions that are now managed by a number of foundations. The collections reflect the history of the Dutch royal family from its origins in the German nobility. As such, they are the Dutch counterparts of such collections as the Royal Collections in Windsor and the Historiske Samlinger in Copenhagen.
