Suggestions for History Museum near Amsterdam

Vasiliki🌿🌸 • March 30, 2017Picturesque windmills village, worth visiting. Don't miss the free workshop of wooden shoes making. I don't believe the charged entrance to some windmills is worth

Coen M. • April 5, 2016Beautiful paintings of the Dutch maritime history.

Gabriella K. • May 22, 2015This museum is a must see place in Amsterdam if you are into art! Don't miss the workshops - check the schedule! Take a audio guide, it's free. Wonderful and very friendly staff!

Lucille F. • November 29, 2017Must see! The extra fee to join the intro tour is absolutely worth it! So much to see and the tour gives you a better perspective, specially if you’re short on time.

Cameron D. • January 19, 2017A must do while in Amsterdam, buy tickets online to skip the line. Go early to avoid the crowds while touring, cafe has wifi and makes a great carrot cake.

The Heritage a. • August 14, 2010I love the Children's Museum at the Jewish Historical Museum in Amsterdam

Andre Luis D. • December 3, 2013A lesson of the culture of Amsterdam and also Netherlands. Friendly people like many others in this wonderful city. A little far from downtown, but we enjoyed a lot.

Naomi B. • December 24, 2014My favourite canal house museum! Underrated and amazing! A must-see!

Sabine S. • February 20, 2011An impressive exhibit, which is suprisingly 'large' you wouldn't expect while getting your ticket. The current love in war exhibit is also really well done.

Aline B. • October 25, 2015This exhibition shows the history of the Dutch chocolate/cookie brand, including the machinery that produces their goods. You even get a cookie sample at the end.

Audrey J. • October 28, 2016This was my favorite museum in Amsterdam. A great mix of history and art of the colonial period.

Luisito • April 17, 2014Awesome! Tijdmeten door de eeuwen heen.

Hanna M. • December 15, 2015Nice museum. Could be a bit quieter, but that's probably in the nature of the museum. Don't bother getting multiple audio guides, since the audio tracks are very short. Just share it with your friends

Hans v. • January 3, 2015Great to have this in the city center. Beautiful building with a rich tradition. Go at night and check out classes.

Imogen C. • January 7, 2016The audio guide is only €1, well worth it for those little bits of extra info that aren't on the placards

Pedro V. • September 21, 2021Beautiful monument inaugurated in SEP’21, where it is displayed 102k names of Dutch Holocaust victims! The mirrored structure is simply fantastic!
