Amsterdam Museum, Historical museum in central Amsterdam, Netherlands.
The Amsterdam Museum is a city museum in central Amsterdam that presents the story of the Dutch capital. The exhibition rooms occupy a former orphanage building and display paintings, everyday objects, and digital installations from different centuries.
The collection opened in 1926 to preserve the city's heritage and make it accessible to the public. The building itself served as an orphanage after the Reformation and received its classical facade during the 18th century.
The permanent exhibition spans three floors, presenting Amsterdam's social evolution through artworks, historical objects, and multimedia installations from different periods.
The museum opens daily from 10 am to 5 pm and offers free entry for visitors under 18 years old. Adults pay a regular admission fee, and the exhibition rooms spread across three floors with elevator access.
A small collection preserves recordings of bells from different Amsterdam towers, giving visitors an impression of the city's soundscape over the centuries. The inner courtyard of the former orphanage still shows traces of its original use with stone benches along the walls.
