Willem Meint Jans "Wim" Pijbes (born 9 October 1961) is a Dutch art historian and emeritus General Director of the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam.

[1] Pijbes' initiatives at the Rijksmuseum include the museum's complete refurbishment and reopening in April 2013 and the opening of the Philips Wing for photography and temporary exhibitions.

With the reopening of the Rijksmuseum, Pijbes also launched Rijksstudio;[4] the first digital application to offer images of the museum's collection to everyone, free of charge.

The open-content museum dates to 2011, when the Rijksmuseum made the first of 208,000 images available for download at no cost after curators found more than 10,000 low-quality scans of one of its Vermeers online.

On 30 May 2016 it was announced that Wim Pijbes became founding director of Museum Voorlinden, near the Dutch coast.
