Heritage museums work the historical record at street level — telling the story of a building, a neighbourhood, or a community rather than presenting an art collection. Amsterdam has a strong field of them: the Anne Frank House on Prinsengracht, the National Holocaust Museum and Names Memorial in Plantage, the Dutch Resistance Museum (Verzetsmuseum), Jewish Cultural Quarter, Museum Het Schip in Spaarndammerbuurt (Amsterdam School architecture and social housing), Museum Ons’ Lieve Heer op Solder (a clandestine 17th-century church in a canal-house attic), and the Amsterdam Museum’s temporary home. This archive collects them all. Each individual listing covers the building’s own story, the curated collection inside, and practical visit details.
