Museums in Amsterdam

Museums in Amsterdam

Amsterdam is rich with museums, there are over fifty museums. One of them is Hermitage Museum. The building in which Hermitage is currently housed was a home for the elderly for 324 year. In the centre of Amstel wing stands the church hall. Building  has two permanent exhibition rooms, one focuses on the connection between Holland and Russia and other on patient care history in Amsterdam. There is also exhibition programme and permanently new masterpieces.

Royal palace Amsterdam


Royal palace Amsterdam has the largest collection of Empire furniture outside France. Paintings by famous artists and sculpture refer symbolically to the power and wealth of the city in the Dutch Golden Age.



Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam

Van Gogh Museum contains the largest collection of Van Gogh paintings in the world. Also rich and varied collection of other 19th century art. Museum is situated, between the Rijksmuseum and the Stedelijk Museum. The best way to buy ticket is ordering it by online - in this manner you will avoid standing in the line.

Entrance in the Anne Frank House


The Rijksmuseum holds paintings by Rembrandt, Vermeer, van Dyck and Jan Steen. The museum has exceptional collection of Asian art, antique objects of the material Dutch culture, drawing, vast collection of print and the classic photography.

Anne Frank House is named among the most popular visited places in Amsterdam; despite this I found it very boring and overpriced. More than I was standing in the queue around an hour and was totally disappointed. 


In the Madam Tussaud Museum you can discover figures of famous people like Barack Obama, Dalai Lama, Princess Diana, Lady Gaga, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, Albert Einstein, David Beckham and etc.



Stedelijk Museum is one of the most innovative and interesting museums of modern art in the world. It has one of the richest collection of modern art, paintings by Casimir Malevich, works of Matisse, Picasso, Newman en Rauschenberg and very good collection of design and furniture.
