Inside Amsterdam: 7 outings for a weekend without the cold

Not every spring weekend in Amsterdam is terrace weather. At 12 degrees and a chilly breeze, look for something else - a museum worth seeing, a place you don't know yet, or just a good reason to get into town without sitting outside. These are seven indoor outings in Amsterdam that are open this weekend, from Foam's final days to Cold Club in Oud-West.
