Museum

“Museum” in Amsterdam covers an unusual spread for a city this size. The big-name art collections on Museumplein draw most of the attention, but the city’s museum landscape is wider than that — heritage houses, single-artist museums, maritime and military collections, science and technology, and a long tail of one-room curiosities including KattenKabinet (cats in art, Herengracht 497), the Pianola Museum (Westerstraat 106) and Embassy of the Free Mind (Keizersgracht 123). This archive collects everything filed under “Museum” on Amsterdam Local Gems, from the institutions on every first-trip itinerary to the small, idiosyncratic museums locals send curious visitors to.
