Amsterdam Museum, hidden treasure in the heart of downtown

The Amsterdam Museum, as its name implies, is entirely focused on everything there is to know about our beautiful city. The museum manages a collection consisting of over 80,000 objects, half of which are preserved by the city itself and the other half are donations.

Amsterdam is known to many for its beautiful downtown architecture, beautiful canals lined with houseboats, infamous red-light district and coffee shops. But, of course, there is much more to the city than that. How did the Amsterdam we know today come about and how did the city grow into the unique travel destination it is today? The Amsterdam Museum answers those questions, and more. The museum's collection has been growing since the 16th century and offers a unique look into the city's past and present. Marksmen's pieces, paintings, books textiles and furniture; that and more can be seen as a permanent collection alongside a number of ever-changing exhibitions. Anyone curious about the history of Amsterdam has come to the right place.
