Visiting the Netherlands without stepping into a museum is simply unthinkable. There are over six hundred museums here – the country ranks among the global leaders in museums per capita. In the Dutch capital alone, there are nearly a hundred of them, which makes museum hopping one of the most exciting things to do in Amsterdam, starting from the iconic
Rijksmuseum,
Van Gogh Museum, stunning street art and film museums, and ending with the most unexpected ones: a museum of fluorescent art, a houseboat, or even dedicated to microbes or cats. The options are endless. To make the most of this incredible variety, consider one of our private museum tours in Amsterdam—an exclusive way to experience the iconic collections and hidden gems.
In Dutch museums, you can dance the polonaise, create a mural, experience life as a red blood cell, conduct scientific experiments, sample the national cuisine, wander inside a painted masterpiece, shoot a movie, transform into a giant, embark on a dizzying journey through the human body, start painting as brilliantly as Vermeer, and do countless other amazing things.
So the question isn’t whether to visit a museum – it’s about where to start and how to choose the best guided museum tours in Amsterdam.
