It is very interesting,...

Tammy_A, Apr 2026

It is very interesting, explaining the history of the development and the canals of Amsterdam. I highly recommend it.

Good overview of how Amsterdam was built

Cathi_J, Apr 2026

The museum is interesting and informative of how the city of Amsterdam was made and built. It also gives a good overview of society life in the 18th and 19th century. It is a good tour and is nice that it does not sell out fast like so many museums in Amsterdam.

Interactive museum

Little museum with a lot of information. Loved the interactive bits, part way through. Check opening times before heading to the museum.

An interesting and very informative history of Amsterdam and it's canals. Progressing through the rooms with audio and models showing construction methods . Very clever use of projection in the "doll's house".

Quick bursts of history!

Madisen_S, Jul 2025

Informative! Great for history lovers who have been asking themselves about how the city came to be. My only downside would be that it could have gone more in depth into some areas of the city's history, some parts were mentioned and moved past it quickly. Was nice to go here after a couple of days getting to know the city and areas.
