Amsterdam is a city where history, art and scientific experimentation live side by side.

The best museums Amsterdam neighborhood

In the cultural palette of Amsterdam, a variety of sites stand out: the Van Gogh Museum with the world's largest collection of works by the artist, the State Art Museum of Amsterdam with masterpieces of the Dutch Golden Age, as well as NEMO - the largest scientific museum in the Netherlands in a building designed by Renzo Piano, where exhibits come to life in interactive laboratories. The maritime theme is presented by the Navigation Museum with four exhibitions dedicated to the history of navigation and maritime discoveries. Fans of unusual stories will be interested in the Museum of Bols liqueur with the traditions of distillation since 1575, the Heineken Beer Museum in the old building of the brewery and the famous Rembrandt House Museum - the place where the master worked. The central areas also contain more exotic expositions: The Tulip Museum in Jordaan, the Diamond Museum with a demonstration of cuts, Foam with a live program of modern photography, the Hendrikje Bag Museum and even the Cat Museum for connoisseurs of unusual collections. Around the city, too, there is something to surprise: the WestFries Ethnographic Museum in Horn is located in a 1632 building and reveals the local history of the province, making a trip outside the city a logical continuation of the museum journey.

Museum exhibitions and events

Amsterdam’s cultural poster is full of events: the annual Night of Museums offers nightly itineraries and special programs, Amsterdam Art Week gathers contemporary art from around the world, and in the cold season the center transforms the Amsterdam Light Festival with installations and museum projects. NEMO regularly organizes scientific festivals and master classes, FOAM hosts temporary exhibitions of young photographers, and major museums often bring expositions from other countries and exchange collections - follow the announcements on official websites and local posters to avoid missing temporary projects and thematic excursions.

Come to Amsterdam for live stories and vivid emotions: the museums of the city will give you a lot of discoveries, and a properly designed route will make the trip efficient and comfortable. We recommend using the services of private guides - they will prompt optimal excursions, help to avoid queues and discover little-known details of the expositions. Order a personal route and go to meet the discoveries: with a professional guide, even familiar halls will play with new colors and your trip will be truly memorable.
