With around 1,000 museums, the Netherlands has the highest museum density in the world. We share information not only on the large and well known museums such as the Rijksmuseum, Anne Frank House, van Gogh and Stedlijk Museums in Amsterdam and the Mauritshuis in The Hague, but also on far lesser known - but equally impressive - museums of the Netherlands, and their events. These include museums ab
out history, archaeology, painting, sculpting, science, natural history, literature, architecture, transport, popular culture, amusement, museums for adults (only!) and museums for kids. We share the information and links you need to find your way to breath-taking castles in easy-to-reach locations, fun and interesting museums on cheese, beer or gin, remnants of a truly gigantic Roman bathhouse to wander in, a museum on tattooing, windmills you can climb, an exciting journey to take by steamtram between the historic towns of Hoorn and Medemblik and an old-fashioned steamer that sails on lake IJsselmeer. Not to mention a detailed reconstruction of the first Albert Heijn shop or the Panorama Mesdag, a walk-in 360° painting that is 14m in height with circumference of 120m! When there are new apps, re-openings, special events and temporary exhibitions coming up, we let you know! We also share up-to-date information on City passes & discount cards and practical information on how-to-get-to museums outside of the major cities. Make sure you know before you go!
