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.
