The Museum of the Canals is housed in a grand and beautiful building on the Herengracht. Follow the story of Amsterdam as it flourished as the leading city of the Dutch Golden Age.
When you enter, pick up an audio guide and take a seat. A few minutes later the lights dim and you are back in 1600, Amsterdam's heyday. Here you get all the context you need to understand Amsterdam's famous UNESCO-protected canals.
Holograms, paintings, models, audio guides and architecture bring the meaning of the canals to life. Learn about their role in the prosperous trade of this mercantile city and the remarkable engineering achievement they represent.
The canals are still at the heart of daily life and celebrations in Amsterdam. The exhibition also shows the world-famous Amsterdam Gay Pride Parade, the Beatles' boat ride through the canals at the height of Beatlemania, and skating on the canals in cold winters.
