Our Lord in the Attic is one of the oldest and most remarkable museums in Amsterdam. Behind the characteristic facade of the house by the canal lies a largely original 17th-century home and a completely hidden church. This hidden church in the attic was built during the Reformation, when Catholics were forbidden to hold public services. Today, the church and the house form the backdrop to a succession of striking exhibitions highlighting religion and contemporary art.
Open: Monday - Saturday: 10.00 - 17.00 hours; Sunday and public holidays: 13.00 - 17.00 hours; Closed: January 1st, April 30th.
