The Hermitage Amsterdam is a branch of the Hermitage in St. Petersburg (Russia), situated along the Amstel river. The building in which the Hermitages is housed, was since 1681 a home for the elderly. The renovated museum was officially opened on June 19th 2009 by the Dutch queen Beatrix and the Russian president Medvedev. 

The Anne Frank house is a monument in memory of Anne Frank and her family. Anne Frank was one of the Jewish victims of Nazi persecution during the second world war.

The collection of the Mauritshuis is the property of the Dutch state. The oldest part of the collection consists of the paintings owned in the 18th century by stadholder Prince Willem V of Orange-Nassau (1748 - 1806)

There is no place in the world where so many works by Vincent van Gogh (1853 - 1890) are on show together. The collection includes over 200 paintings, 500 drawings and more than 750 letters. The artist produced around 900 paintings and 1200 drawings.

The Stedelijk Museum ,built in 1876 by architect P.J.H. Cuypers, is currently under construction. The Philips Wing of the museum, presenting all the highlights of the Golden Age (including masterpieces of Jan Steen, Frans Hals, Vermeer and Rembrandt's Night Watch) is still open.

Rembrandt bought this house in 1639, when he was at the height of his fame. Here lived the master, raised his son Titus, instructed young artists and created his most famous works. The historic interior was recently restored to its former glory and furnished with items and works of art from the master's time.
