Hermitage Amsterdam, History museum on Amstel River, Netherlands

The white monumental structure of the Hermitage Museum stands along the Amstel River, featuring a classical facade and characteristic 17th-century cross-windows.

Built in 1682 as a retirement home for elderly women called Diaconie Oude Vrouwen Huys, the building transformed into an art museum in 2009.

The museum presents international temporary exhibitions through collaborations with prestigious institutions like the British Museum and Smithsonian Institution.

Visitors can explore the collections daily from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM, with audio guides available in multiple languages to enhance their experience.

In March 2022, the museum severed ties with the State Hermitage Museum in Saint Petersburg and reinvented itself as an independent cultural institution.
