Lots of interesting information of building Amsterdam and canals. Nice and compact tour! The "playhouse" with real like interiors was the best part of museum!
The museum is comprehensive, well explained, with quite unusual and very interesting displays. We are immersed in the history of the canals through the ages, and it personally gave me a new perspective on this unique part of the city while providing answers to questions I had. I highly recommend it if you come to Amsterdam for a weekend. The building blends into the surroundings but is worth the detour.
Very informative about Amsterdam! The history of the formation is quite educational. Learned a lot of things to appreciate what it is today.
The museum is informative and worth a visit. The museum has an unusual 3D presentation. The presentation is good, but not great. I likely a great deal about the history of the canals.
It is very interesting, explaining the history of the development and the canals of Amsterdam. I highly recommend it.
A spur of the moment visit and was one of the best museums we have ever been to. Modern and well set out. 10/10
The museum is interesting and informative of how the city of Amsterdam was made and built. It also gives a good overview of society life in the 18th and 19th century. It is a good tour and is nice that it does not sell out fast like so many museums in Amsterdam.
Very nicely done, although it’s more of listening to a pre recorded version
What a little gem! We only went as we had time to kill and it's both very interesting and very well done - the audio guide and the models set up in each room are imaginative and engaging. Well done!
You walk, in a group, from room to room. So looking at things at your own pace is not one of them. In the spaces, the history of Amsterdam, and in particular the creation of the canal belt, is depicted. Meanwhile, listen to the explanation on the audio device. It's all very fancy and hip, but also rather superficial. I thought it was more of an experience than a museum. The temporary exhibition "Amsterdam, almost demolished" on the bell - floor was small, but in itself nice. I think the price of 18.50 for a ticket is really too high. But fortunately, the museum annual pass is valid.
