Rijksmuseum
With close on one million objects and 1.2 million visitors a year, Amsterdam's Rijksmuseum is the largest museum of art and history in the Netherlands. It is perhaps best known for its collection of 17th-century Dutch masters, with twenty Rembrandts and many other highlights of the period, including works by Vermeer, Frans Hals and Jan Steen.

Rembrandt House
Today the Rembrandt House Museum attracts a great many visitors with its permanent display of Rembrandt’s etchings and with important exhibitions. The growing numbers of visitors meant that the museum had to expand. The public facilities and exhibition rooms have been moved to a new wing. This transfer has made it possible to restore Rembrandt’s house. Fortunately, the inventory of 1656 provides a detailed picture of the interior as it was in Rembrandt’s day. Drawings by the artist also reveal the character of the rooms. Experts have undertaken lengthy and detailed studies to ensure that the restoration is historically accurate. The Rembrandt House is now refurbishing the rooms in an attempt to get as close as possible to the situation in Rembrandt’s time.

Amsterdam Historical Museum
Since 1926 the Amsterdam Historical Museum has provided a home for the city's art collection. This has been accumulated since the seventeenth century when a gallery was first opened at the town hall on Dam Square. Over the years many objects from urban institutions were added to this, including militia portraits, and portraits of governors, the guild silver collection and the David and Goliath statues. In the nineteenth century various citizens also left private collections to the city, the Willet-Holthuysen Museum being one example.
Netherlands Maritime Museum
The Netherlands Maritime Museum is housed in the National Naval Depot, a former arsenal of the Dutch Navy that is over 300 years old. The unique and superb collection tells the story of the maritime past of the Netherlands. The jetty outside the Museum provides a permanent berth for a replica of the Dutch East Indiaman Amsterdam. Actors playing the sailors provide a 'life-like' impression of life on board the Amsterdam.
