Amsterdam Museum

AMSTERDAM MUSEUM

Amsterdam, a world city? Certainly! And also a city that is small, welcoming and quirky. The city of Johan Cruijff, Rembrandt, Ajax, de Wallen, the United East India Company and hash. In the monumental building of the Amsterdam Museum, you can discover the extraordinary tale of this fascinating city’s past, present and future.

AMSTERDAM DNA

The Amsterdam DNA presentation offers a captivating, one-hour overview of the history of Amsterdam on the basis of interactive images, sounds, movement and specially selected objects. One of the high points is Rembrandt’s portrait of Saskia van Uylenburgh. The Dutch Museum has borrowed this exceptional painting for two years from the National Gallery of Art in Washington (on display until and including July 2015). Amsterdam DNA can be experienced in English, Dutch, French, German, Chinese, Japanese, Russian, Portuguese, Spanish and Italian.

HET KLEINE WEESHUIS

Het Kleine Weeshuis (The Little Orphanage) is an attraction for children from the age of 4 to 12 and provides a fascinating insight into the building’s history. From 1578 to 1960, the Amsterdam Museum building was home to the Burgerweeshuis (state orphanage). This interactive presentation allows children and their parents to learn all about life in a 17th century orphanage.
