Honestly, the museum that I liked the most in Amsterdam. One of the best in the world in terms of atmosphere and historical curiosities. Thoroughly recommended.

Jonas de Groot

Great museum with beautyful exhibitions . Nice for kids too, with lots of creative workshops.

Hanna Mod

Huge collection of cultural artifacts from all over the world, but I was missing a common thread. Kicked from one area about religion in the caribean to housing in the middle east without any comment.

Carl Griffin

Wonderfully ethnographical museum . Great exhibitions on traditional Asian and African life.

Ana Bugalete

I was deeply impressed by old photos of 17th-18th centuries. These people had lived 300-400 years ago but still their eyes has so much life and energy.

It a gorgeous building worth seeing though some of the permanent exhibits are showing their age. Was impressed with the newer Aleppo exhibit .

In the midst of being refurbished, it's still a cool place to go, especially if you haven't been freaked out by wooden phalluses, creepy waxworks and death masks in a while.

This was my favorite museum in Amsterdam . A great mix of history and art of the colonial period.

The Van Goh & Rijks get most of the attention when it comes to museums , but this is def worth the visit. It's never busy & most exhibits are interactive which adds to the experience.
