Our main location on Kalverstraat is being renovated.
The New Amsterdam Museum
The Amsterdam Museum's main location is housed in a beautiful historic building in the city center on Kalverstraat: the former Burgerweeshuis (civilian orphanage). With a design by architectural firm Neutelings Riedijk Architects, we are literally building our dream. A city museum for the future, which does justice to the rich history of the building but also looks to today and tomorrow.

Work in progress!
The website will be redesigned in the coming hours
In the coming hours, we will be working behind the scenes on a major redesign of the website. This involves redesigning functionalities, content, and settings step by step. During this process, certain pages may temporarily not work properly, information may be missing, or links may not redirect correctly.
We are doing everything we can to limit any inconvenience, but unfortunately, minor errors cannot be ruled out during this period. In the coming days, we will manually check the entire website and make repairs where necessary.
If you notice anything that seems incorrect, please let us know via email, and we will address it immediately.
