It is well known that Amsterdam, the capital of the Netherlands, is an ideal destination for a festive and cultural long weekend. Famous for its canals, its gabled houses, its innate sense of party, and its guilty pleasures (yes coffee shop and red-light district I’m referring to you), I propose today a new angle to visit the dynamic Dutch city: through its museums.

Having visited Amsterdam with my family and with friends, I had the chance to take part in several museum visits, each one more different than the last, mixing history, culture, and tendentious visits. All in all, it was a great way to enrich one’s culture on many different themes.
