====Other facilities==== The [[Rijksmuseum Amsterdam|Rijksmuseum]] operates an annex at the airport, offering a small overview of both classical and contemporary art.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.rijksmuseum.nl/en/typically-dutch |title=Rijksmuseum Amsterdam Schiphol |publisher=Rijksmuseum |access-date=24 May 2013 |archive-date=31 May 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130531102614/https://www.rijksmuseum.nl/en/typically-dutch |url-status=live }}</ref> Admission to the exhibits is free, but requires a plane ticket as it is situated in the passenger transit zone. In the summer of 2010, Schiphol Airport Library opened alongside the museum, providing passengers access to a collection of 1,200 books (translated into 29 languages) by Dutch authors on subjects relating to the country's history and culture. The {{cvt|968|sqft|order=flip}} library offers e-books and music by Dutch artists and composers that can be downloaded free of charge to a laptop or mobile device.<ref name="clark">{{cite news |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2010/09/16/arts/16iht-library.html |work=[[The New York Times]] |first=Nicola |last=Clark |title=At Schiphol, an Unlikely Sanctuary of Books |date=15 September 2010 |access-date=24 May 2013 |archive-date=31 May 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130531124705/http://www.nytimes.com/2010/09/16/arts/16iht-library.html |url-status=live }}</ref> For aviation enthusiasts, Amsterdam Airport Schiphol has a large rooftop viewing area, called the Panoramaterras. It is not accessible to connecting passengers unless they first exit the airport. Enthusiasts and the public can enter, free of charge, from the airport's landside. Since June 2011, it is the location for a [[KLM Cityhopper]] [[Fokker 100]], modified to be a viewing exhibit.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.schiphol.nl/Reizigers/Nieuws/Fokker100VanKLMOpPanoramaterrasSchiphol.htm |title=Fokker 100 van KLM op Panoramaterras Schiphol |date=8 June 2011 |publisher=Schiphol Amsterdam Airport |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110604184045/http://www.schiphol.nl/Reizigers/Nieuws/Fokker100VanKLMOpPanoramaterrasSchiphol.htm |archive-date=4 June 2011}}</ref> Besides the Panoramaterras, Schiphol has other spotting sites, especially along the newest Polderbaan runway and at the [[McDonald's]] restaurant at the north side of the airport. Schiphol has its own [[mortuary]], where the dead can be handled and kept before departure or after arrival. Between October 2006 and 2019, people could also hold a wedding ceremony at Schiphol.<ref name="baskas">{{cite news |url=https://www.usatoday.com/travel/columnist/baskas/2008-06-10-airport-weddings_N.htm |title=Will you marry me at the airport? |work=[[USA Today]] |last=Baskas |first=Harriet |date=10 June 2008 |access-date=24 May 2013 |archive-date=6 July 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120706134215/http://www.usatoday.com/travel/columnist/baskas/2008-06-10-airport-weddings_N.htm |url-status=dead}}</ref> Schiphol also has a new state-of-the-art cube-shaped Hilton Amsterdam Airport Schiphol with 433 rooms, rounded corners and diamond-shaped windows. The spacious [[Atrium (architecture)|atrium]] has a {{cvt|135|ft|m|order=flip|adj=mid|-high}} ceiling made of glass and is in the heart of the building. A covered walkway connects the hotel directly to the terminal. The hotel was completed in 2015.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.schiphol.com/Travellers/AtSchiphol/SchipholConstructsConvertsConnects/HiltonAmsterdamAirportSchiphol.htm |title=Hilton Amsterdam Airport Schiphol |access-date=26 December 2014 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150924095022/http://www.schiphol.com/Travellers/AtSchiphol/SchipholConstructsConvertsConnects/HiltonAmsterdamAirportSchiphol.htm |archive-date=24 September 2015}}</ref> In line with its sustainability objectives, Schiphol introduced a new fleet of 52 electric shuttle buses in 2024 to reduce emissions and improve passenger transport on the apron. Additionally, a 5,000 square meter expansion of Lounge 1 was completed in November 2024, offering travelers an upgraded space incorporating natural elements and improved amenities.[https://www.businesstraveller.com/business-travel/2024/11/11/amsterdam-schiphol-unveils-lounge-1-expansion]
