The Prime Minister of the Netherlands today (March 12) announced a ban on any gatherings of more than 100 people, at least through the end of March.  This has resulted in the temporary closure of the Rijksmuseum, the Van Gogh Museum, and the Anne Frank House:

To those that have prebought tickets for these museums for a date before April 1, 2020; the museums will refund the ticket price. The Anne Frank house specifically asks people not to contact them about the refund as they are getting inundated with questions. They will contact their customers to arrange the refund.

For details about refunds from the Rijksmuseum and Van Gogh museum: see their websites.
