Gallery Tour

Amsterdam is more than a city; it’s a story shaped by its diverse population over centuries. Now, as an international resident, you’re part of this evolving narrative. Gallery Tour is a monthly interactive tour through our exhibition Panorama Amsterdam, that brings the city’s history to life. This isn’t your typical guided tour—it’s a conversation. Together with other participants, you’ll reflect, share, and explore what it means to be an Amsterdammer.

Panorama Amsterdam reveals the many facets of the city. What are the foremost characteristics that define Amsterdam? And has it always been that way? How will the city continue to develop? By connecting stories from the past, present, and future, a broader perspective of the city emerges: Amsterdam, in all its dimensions.

The first part of the exhibition is a chronological history of Amsterdam, from the 16th century until today. The second part addresses what is important to the city as it is now. This covers themes and subjects that are not (yet) part of the traditional canon. We are constantly gathering not only the history but also the present and future of the city. Because history is being written at every moment.

You are part of it now, join the Gallery Tour to shape your part.
