Amsterdam has always been a leading cultural centre, with top attractions such as the Rijksmuseum and the Van Gogh Museum. The opening of the Hermitage Amsterdam and the impressive range of exclusive exhibitions will make a visit to Amsterdam an absolute must in 2009. Hermitage Amsterdam is the most important branch of the internationally renowned museum of the same name in Saint Petersburg.

The renovated Stedelijk Museum has one of the most valuable collections of modern art in the world. After a long period of renovation work, this unsurpassed institute for modern art will once again have its own place in Amsterdam in 2010.
