Great museum . Of all the major museums to visit in Amsterdam, this and Van Gogh were my favorite. Visit Het Grachtenhuis before wandering the canals - you'll see the city in a different light.

Really good museum that uses new technology to make you relive history. I liked the part the most, where you could watch the city planners discuss their plans for the canals .

La idea es buena pero no se puede considerar un museo a 4 salas. No merece la pena
