Unique event venues

Allard Pierson

The Allard Pierson houses the treasures of the University of Amsterdam, from Egyptian mummies to the famous Amsterdam Blaeu atlases. With so much history and heritage, this relatively little-known museum in the heart of the old city centre of Amsterdam is also a fantastic venue. Guests can combine a meeting, lecture or dinner with a guided tour, or host a unique evening with a dinner pensant – a dinner with a theme that’s linked to the collection. Or, end your meeting with a drink and canal cruise, as Amsterdam’s highlights are right on its doorstep.
