During this renovation, about 400 objects from the collection were on display in the 'fragment building', including [[Rembrandt]]'s ''The Night Watch'' and other 17th-century masterpieces.<ref>{{cite web |title = Final Design The New Rijksmuseum |work = The New Rijksmuseum |publisher = Rijksmuseum Amsterdam |url = http://www.rijksmuseum.nl/hetnieuwerijksmuseum/definitief-ontwerp?lang=en |access-date = 1 April 2007 |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20090919133348/http://www.rijksmuseum.nl/hetnieuwerijksmuseum/definitief-ontwerp?lang=en |archive-date = 19 September 2009 |url-status = dead }}</ref> The [[Building restoration|restoration]] and [[renovation]] of the Rijksmuseum are based on a design by Spanish architects [[Cruz y Ortiz|Antonio Cruz and Antonio Ortiz]]. Many of the old interior decorations were restored and the floors in the courtyards were removed. The renovation would have initially taken five years, but was delayed and eventually took almost ten years to complete. The renovation cost [[euro|β¬]]375 million.<ref name="renovationcost"/> The reconstruction of the building was completed on 16 July 2012. In March 2013, the museum's main pieces of art were moved back from the 'fragment building' (Philips Wing) to the main building. ''[[The Night Watch]]'' returned to the Night Watch Room, at the end of the Hall of Fame. On 13 April 2013, the main building was reopened by Queen Beatrix.<ref name="bbcopening"/> On 1 November 2014, the Philips Wing reopened with the exhibition ''[[Modern Times: Photography in the 20th Century]]''.
