Museums and Galleries

1. Rijksmuseum
   Only partly open for the moment, but it’s the place to see the best of the city’s collection of seventeenth-century Dutch art.
2. Amstelkring
   Once a clandestine church for the city’s Catholics, the seventeenth-century house chapel is a very distinctive sight.
3. Van Gogh Museum
   The greatest collection of Van Gogh’s work, along with the paintings and Japanese prints that influenced him.
4. Verzetsmuseum
   This museum brilliantly charts the history of the Dutch resistance to the Nazis through a mixture of exhibits.
5. Amsterdams Historisch Museum
   An excellent museum devoted to the life and times of the city.
