With picturesque Golden Age canals lined by tilting gabled buildings, rich history and a lively cultural scene, it\u2019s no surprise that Amsterdam<\/a> has earned its reputation as one of the world\u2019s most vibrant cities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


No matter what time of year you visit the capital of the Netherlands<\/a>, there will always be an endless amount of things for you to see and do that lie well beyond the well-trodden tourist path. If you\u2019ve stocked up at one of the city\u2019s many excellent cafes or restaurants and are feeling hungry for a cultural experience, there are no shortfalls here. Whether you\u2019re after a serving of art or history, or perhaps both, these are some of the best museums and galleries in Amsterdam that every visitor must experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Located:<\/strong> Museumstraat 1, 1071 XX, Museum Quarter<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Open Hours:<\/strong> Daily from 9am – 5pm<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After completing a decade-long, $441 million renovation in 2013, the Rijksmuseum<\/a> has firmly made a name for itself as one of the best museums in Amsterdam and is the largest of the \u201cbig three\u201d museums. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For visitors interested in art, you can\u2019t go past the galleries filled with over 2000 Golden Age paintings, which include many from Rembrandt. However, the museum is also home to over 8000 displayed masterworks, so the Golden Age art gallery is definitely not a niche affair! From model ships, rich costumes and Asian art figures, there\u2019s an endless amount of well-paced chronological artefacts dating from the Middle Ages to the Mondrian for you to sink your teeth into.You can visit the Rijksmuseum – Amsterdam\u2019s most popular museum – on Trafalgar\u2019s \u2018Amsterdam Explorer<\/a>\u2019 tour, where you\u2019ll be guided by a Local Specialist through the museum, which is home to masterpieces of Rembrandt, Hals and Vermeer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where:<\/strong> Prinsengracht 263-267, 1016 GV, Canal Belt<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Open Hours:<\/strong> Monday – Friday: 9:30am – 4:30pm, Saturday – Sunday: 9am – 7pm<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the only museums of Amsterdam that you\u2019ll have to stand in line for is the Anne Frank Museum<\/a>. However, don\u2019t let the wait deter you; it\u2019s well worth it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It takes about an hour to complete a loop of the house, where you can walk through the attic space where the Frank family hid during World War II and where Anne penned her famous diary. Downstairs, in the space which once housed her father\u2019s company office, visitors can see Anne\u2019s original diary, as well as other manuscripts and interactive human rights exhibitions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No matter how well you think you may know the story of Anne Frank, a visit to the Anne Frank Huis is a very sobering experience and will give you a greater understanding of what life was like in Nazi-occupied Holland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where: <\/strong>Paulus Potterstraat 7, 1071 CX, Museum Quarter<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Open Hours:<\/strong> Monday: Closed, Tuesday – Friday: 10am – 5pm, Saturday – Sunday: 10am – 6pm<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If seeing the famous \u2018Sunflowers\u2019 paintings in the flesh is on your bucket list, then a visit to the Van Gogh Museum<\/a> is not to be missed. The museum is home to more than 1400 pieces of Vincent van Gogh\u2019s work, which includes more than 200 of his paintings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, what makes a visit to this museum of Amsterdam unique is the inclusion of van Gogh\u2019s lesser known works; drawings and letters that dive deep into his depression and a video installation displaying his rise and the works of artists who have been inspired by him make for a particularly unparalleled experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where:<\/strong> Dam Square, Amsterdam<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Open Hours:<\/strong> Friday: 12pm – 5pm, Saturday – Sunday: 10am – 5pm<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Originally built with the intention of being the City Hall of Amsterdam in the early 17th century, a trip to the Royal Palace of Amsterdam<\/a> is well worth it for museum and gallery enthusiasts alike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 350 year old building, which is located in central Amsterdam, was transformed into a Palace in 1808 by King Louis Napoleon Bonaparte and has remained that way ever since. It is one of three palaces in the Netherlands which are at the disposal of the monarch. While the Royal Palace isn\u2019t King Willem-Alexander\u2019s place of residence, he does use the palace for Royal Events, such as the reception of foreign heads of state and the King\u2019s New Year reception.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just as impressive as the other museums and galleries in Amsterdam, visitors to the Royal Palace can admire endless marble floors, magnificent paintings, delicate sculptures, sparkling chandeliers and an annual exhibition.You can visit the Royal Palace on an optional excursion on Trafalgar\u2019s \u2018Best of Holland<\/a>\u2019 tour, where you\u2019ll be guided by a local specialist through the palace, which is rich in history with interiors that make this Amsterdam icon a must-see.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Open Hours:<\/strong> Daily 10am – 6pm, Thursday 10am – 10pm<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While not as frequented as some of its famous neighbours, a visit to the Stedelijk Museum<\/a> is a must for anyone who enjoys thought-provoking modern and contemporary art. This art gallery in Amsterdam is home to more than 90,000 pieces, which includes a mix of 3D printed vases, Dutch avant garde and video art to name a few. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don\u2019t let the lack of foot traffic deter you from visiting this art museum; if anything, we enjoy it that way – it means more time to get a good look at Mondrian.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Open Hours:<\/strong> Sunday – Thursday: 9:30am – 10pm, Friday – Saturday: 9:30am – 11pm<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A little difficult to get to (its location on the waterfront requires a little navigating), but totally worth it! The EYE Filmmuseum<\/a> in Amsterdam is a celebration of all things cinematic. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The museum, which is housed in a stunning modern architecture building, hosts a permanent exhibition that charts the history of film, as well as revolving shows on acclaimed directors. There are also regular films screened across four on-site cinemas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Visiting this museum in Amsterdam is an adventure within itself. Not only do you get the opportunity to experience the modern approach to art and cinema that the museum is known for, it\u2019s also a great opportunity to explore the less touristy Noord district (where the museum is situated).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where:<\/strong> Keizersgracht 609, 1017 DS, Canal Belt<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Open Hours: <\/strong>Daily 10am – 5pm<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Located in a canal-side building is one of the best museums in Amsterdam; the FOAM Photography Museum<\/a>. Inside the small canal house, are walls lined with punchy photography.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, don\u2019t be fooled into thinking that FOAM is just another museum in Amsterdam; it\u2019s so much more than that. In addition to big blockbuster exhibitions featuring works by the likes of Diane Arbus and Richard Avedon, FOAM also houses smaller shows featuring the works of contemporary photographers, as well as lively lectures, forums, an in-house magazine and a graduate lab that regularly feeds into the museum’s exhibitions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, if you\u2019re in need of some grounding after seeing the works of some of art and history\u2019s greatest, or a fresh perspective through the lens of Amsterdam\u2019s up-and-coming, FOAM is not to be missed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Open Hours: <\/strong>Wednesday – Monday: 11am – 5pm<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Located in the heart of the canal district, resides the Museum Van Loon<\/a>; an insider peek into the home of an Amsterdam patrician family. Built in 1672, this impeccably preserved canal house, which was once the residence of artist Ferdinand Bol, exudes wealth and a Golden Age splendour. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While there are a number of other canal-house museums in Amsterdam, the Museum Van Loon remains special, as it\u2019s managed to retain the atmosphere of a grand family home. In fact, the Van Loons still reside upstairs (this area is off-limits to the public).
You can visit the Museum Van Loon on an optional excursion on Trafalgar\u2019s \u2018Best of Holland<\/a>\u2019 tour, where you\u2019ll be guided by a local specialist through the residence, where you\u2019ll discover the large collection of paintings, fine furniture, precious silver and porcelain from several centuries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Open Hours:<\/strong> Sunday 2pm – 5pm<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tucked away in the De Jordaan district, the Pianola Museum<\/a> is one of the smallest museums in Amsterdam that punches a large amount of quirk and eccentricity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Inside the museum, you\u2019ll find numerous pianolas (player pianos), as well as reproduction pianos and related objects. The museum archive also has a collection of more than 30,000 music rolls which can be played on the different instruments inside the museum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once a week, the museum hosts a concert, where the audience sits around and listens to a playerless piano perform pieces created by the likes of Debussy, Prokofiev and Stravinsky.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For a museum experience quite unlike any other, there\u2019s nothing that compares to the Pianola Museum in Amsterdam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
