Drift Museum

Drift Museum will open its doors in early 2025 in the monumental Van Gendt Hallen in Amsterdam.

The interplay of the works of art with the industrial building promises to be breathtaking.

Discover a playful museum full of stories in Monnickendam. There is much to discover in the Waterlands Museum de Speeltoren. See how the Waterland landscape was created, learn more about the rich history of the beautiful towns and experience a challenging encounter with contemporary art.

Greenbox Museum

The museum is temporarily closed due to relocation. The Greenbox Museum is one of Amsterdam’s smallest art museums, located in the heart of the city near the Leidseplein. The museum is the first of its kind in the world, focusing solely on contemporary art from Saudi Arabia. This private collection of avant garde works from Saudi Arabia often has a special link to the Muslim world, as Saudi Arabia is the home to Mecca.

Corrie ten Boomhuis

During World War II, the Ten Boom family provided a hiding place for Jewish people and members of the resistance in their home on Haarlem’s Barteljorisstraat. The family was betrayed, imprisoned and deported to concentration camps – only Corrie survived the ordeal. Her house is now a museum, the majority of which recreates how it would have looked in the 1940s.

Galerie Wouter van Leeuwen

Located in the gallery-rich heart of Amsterdam's Jordaan, Wouter van Leeuwen has been a champion of a diverse range of both young and established photographers since 2001. Recent exhibitions include the documenter of mega-cities Michael Wolf, the explorer of economic power structures Jacqueline Hassink, and the iconic Burkinabe studio photographer Sanlé Sory.

Zaans Museum and Verkade Experience
