Museums and galleries

Amsterdam is world-famous for its iconic museums like the Rijksmuseum, Van Gogh Museum, and Stedelijk Museum—but that’s just the beginning. Step off the beaten path and you’ll discover a city full of hidden gems: a museum dedicated entirely to cats, a dazzling collection of self-playing pianos, avant-garde photography galleries, and exhibitions tucked inside canal houses. Whether you're into street art or surrealism, Amsterdam’s museum scene is full of surprises.
