Making Rijksmuseum reservations if planning to use the Museumkaart

HELP! Everything I read says to check Museumkaart if you are making reservations for the Rijksmuseum. But that is not an option. I had no trouble making reservations for Anne Frank House and Van Gogh Museum, but there is not an option except to pay for tickets when making reservations online for the Rijksmuseum. Can someone help me please? Thank you so very much, Kathy

You don't have to make a reservation for the Rijksmuseum. You can enter whenever you like.

Thank your for your response. But we would like to make a reservation. Many posts say you do that by going online, checking the day and time, and checking Museumkaart. But there is no option to check Museumkaart. Can you advise please? Thank you.

Don't worry and do as everybody does: go to the museum, show your Museumkaart at the barrier, and enjoy. I went there last week and was inside within two minutes.

You can show up at the Rijksmuseum whenever you want. This museum does not have a specific entrance time, which you reserve, like the Van Gogh Museum or the Ann Frank House. You buy your tickets on-line or show up at the museum and purchase them. They can be used any time within 12 months from the date of purchase. Also, the tickets show that they are valid for one-day entrance only.

Since you have a Museumkaart just show up.

I agree with everyone else - I was just there yesterday with the Museumkaart. I walked up with the card past everyone waiting to buy tickets, they scanned it, and I went right in without any problems.
