Since 1581, these buildings housed a city shelter for children. The museum occupied these premises only in 1975. Initially, the city history museum was housed in a medieval fortress tower, and it was opened at the beginning of the twentieth century. Today it is one of the most exciting museums in the city, which has a stunning collection of objects that tells the life of Amsterdam from the Middle Ages to the present day. Here you can see Rembrandt-era furniture, clothes, books, ceramics, glass, and wood, as well as paintings by famous artists. To visit the museum, you need to take from one and a half to two hours. You can buy tickets on the spot or the website. https://www.amsterdammuseum.nl/
