Relics and exhibits pertaining to the history of Amsterdam are housed in this museum, which has been teaching visitors about the city since 1975. Here, guests can learn all about the thousand years of history behind the trading city of Amsterdam, including the famous red light district, the history of marijuana in the city, and some of the people who lived there, like the artist Rembrandt. Amsterdam Museum is located in a 16th century building that was once the city’s orphanage, and it honors this history with an interactive orphanage exhibit aimed at children and families to help them learn about the building’s past through educational, interactive, and fun displays.
