It was founded as the *Teekenschool voor Kunstambachten* (Drawing school for art crafts) by [Pierre Cuypers](/source/Pierre_Cuypers) and [Eduard Colinet](/source/Eduard_Colinet) in the workshop of the [Rijksmuseum](/source/Rijksmuseum) during the building of that institution, which itself contains several large sculptures and was intended to rival the [Royal Palace of Amsterdam](/source/Royal_Palace_of_Amsterdam), which itself is full of works by the Quellinus family. The name was changed after the opening of the museum in 1885 to *Kunstnijverheidsschool Quellinus*, or simply *Quellinusschool*. In 1924 it merged with the [Gerrit Rietveld Academie](/source/Gerrit_Rietveld_Academie).
