Well-known and unknown stories about, and perspectives on, Amsterdam's past give an impression of how Amsterdam has formed and is still developing. Here you see our collection that gives you a multifaceted picture of the many histories of the city of Amsterdam. Classic icons from the city collection by Lingelbach and Rembrandt alongside artists such as Raquel Haver, Natasja Kensmil and Brian Elstak.

Since March 2022, the Amsterdam Museum can be found on the Amstel, in the building of the Hermitage. During a large-scale renovation of the monumental Burgerweeshuis, the Amsterdam Museum will find its temporary home here. With a completely new range of exhibitions, public programmes and children's activities. Here, the Amsterdam Museum will display an entirely new collection presentation that, besides the traditional history of Amsterdam, also offers plenty of space for dissenting voices and lesser-known and more recent histories of the city.

Exhibitions
Temporary exhibitions also give the floor to residents and lovers of the city to show 'their Amsterdam'. With well-known objects from the collection and new or less well-known works, the Amsterdam Museum on the Amstel will show you that there is no single history of the city.
