During the ceremonial opening of the exhibition Maxima had the honour of pressing a large red button - marking the launch of the exhibit.
She later donned a pair of black gloves as she toured the impressive range of paintings, presumably to prevent any damage to the delicate artworks.
The exhibition is sure to prove of particular interest to Maxima as it features paintings of former queen of the Netherlands Anna Pavlovna of Russia who ruled during the 19th century.

Today marks Maxima's second engagement of the week as she stepped out in Rotterdam yesterday.
The royal, 45, who's rarely seen without a statement hat, donned a broad-brimmed black headpiece as she attended the opening of the Fifth European Nursing Congress.
Maxima appeared her usual vivacious self as she laughed and beamed as she arrived at the conference that addresses scientific research and innovations in elderly care.
Her presence shines a light on the hot-button issues for older people including prevention of illness, homecare, hospital care, long-term care mental health, rehabilitation and transitional care.
