Anne Frank House, Holocaust museum in central Amsterdam, Netherlands
The Anne Frank House includes the secret annex where a Jewish family hid during World War II at Prinsengracht 263 in Amsterdam.
Otto Frank established this memorial site in 1960, preserving the rooms where his daughter Anne wrote her wartime diary from 1942 to 1944.
The museum displays original documents, photographs, and personal items that belonged to eight people who sought refuge in this building during Nazi occupation.
Visitors need to purchase tickets online in advance, as the museum receives more than one million people annually with limited daily capacity.
The walls of Anne's bedroom still display the original pictures and newspaper clippings she pasted during her time in hiding.

Amsterdam combines art, history, and culture. The city features notable museums like the Rijksmuseum and Van Gogh Museum, historical buildings such as the Anne Frank House, and a network of 17th-century canals. Public spaces like Dam Square and Vondelpark provide urban gathering points.
Amsterdam provides photographers with numerous subjects throughout the city. The 17th-century canals form the historic center, where gabled houses and bridges reflect in the water. The Jordaan district displays traditional residential architecture, while the Oosterdok area presents modern structures including the Central Library and NEMO Science Museum. The Rijksmuseum and Van Gogh Museum offer both interior and exterior subjects. Vondelpark extends across 47 hectares, combining green spaces with urban elements. The Magere Brug over the Amstel river features evening illumination. Albert Cuyp Market captures daily life, while De Wallen combines historic facades with red lighting. The city suits architectural, street, and landscape photography. The flat topography and canals create specific lighting conditions. From morning to dusk, photographic conditions change across different neighborhoods.
