5 reasons to visit the Amsterdam Museum
Formerly known as the Amsterdam History Museum, this cultural treasure trove is a must-do for anyone eager to learn about the city's rich history. Here are five reasons you can't miss it!
The historic location
Not only is it easily reached in central Amsterdam, the museum is housed in an old orphanage, developed over time by the city's leading architects!
The local art
The collection of Dutch paintings is one of Amsterdam's more modest, but lesser known works from famous names like Rembrandt provide a charming alternative to the larger galleries.
See important historic artifacts
Among the curios illustrating the city's past is the barrel organ damaged when hidden Nazi soldiers emerged to kill 22 in an ambush on liberation celebrations in 1945.
Insights beyond history
The former Amsterdam History Museum outgrew its old name as it began to shed more light into the city's modern culture, from cycling and prostitution to Ajax soccer fandom!
An easy museum to tour
Despite being spread chronologically across three floors, a lot of knowledge can be gleaned in a short space of time due to its efficient layouts and interactive exhibits.

What people are saying about Amsterdam Museum
The Van Gogh Museum remains a must see in Amsterdam!
I have been to the VGM many times and I will go back there again in the future. It's a must see in Amsterdam so don't miss it if you are visiting this awesome city. Not only it has great pieces but the painter's history is well described in English! Love it!
Educational, well laid out, astoundingly poor lighting
It is a very well planned and beautifully laid out exhibit of not only the artisit’s work but the corresponding influences both personal and artistic. Many times however his works were difficult to see because of terrible glare from very poorly designed lighting.
It was one of my bucket list to do and I am very happy to see Van Gogh
It was nice to see another painter’s paintings which related to Van Gogh. I wish I could see more Van Gogh’s works such as famouse mater piece, Starry Starry Night in MOMA.
Best art gallery/museum ive ever been to
This is the 3rd time ive been. First, 1983, 2nd, 1995, and it gets better every time
Organized museum Beautiful Van Gogh paintings
It was organized and great using the audio guides. You got to see the best of his works Love the self-portraits and Sunglowers So many beautiful paintings If your looking for Starry Night it’s in the MOMA in New York City.
