List Curated Sets
list_curated_setsBrowse curated thematic sets from the Rijksmuseum, filtered by name and size. Each set shows member count, dominant artwork types, centuries, and a category to select the right scope.
Instructions
Browse thematic and sub-collection groupings curated by Rijksmuseum staff (drawings, paintings, iconographic sets). Each result carries memberCount, top dominantTypes, top dominantCenturies by membership, and a category heuristic (object_type / iconographic / album / sub_collection / umbrella) so you can pick the right scope. Use minMembers: 100, maxMembers: 200000 to avoid umbrella sets when the user wants a substantive subset. Pair with browse_set(setSpec) to enumerate members. Not for keyword search across artworks — use search_artwork. Not for aggregate counts — use collection_stats.
