Reviews
The temporary exhibitions on Bes and Amsterdam are very well designed, and provide a smooth experience. The Classical Antiquity section, on the other hand, is in the middle of renovation - so you have to build your own path.
The bookshop has some really good books on typography. My special thanks to the erudite Mr. Vincent whom we found very helpful and friendly.
Really nice, but a bit short in comparison to other museums.
A small museum; however, this is a museum of quality over quantity. This museum focuses on the cultural and social activities and contributions of the Greek, Roman and Egyptian peoples. Each piece has detailed information on what the object is and how it was used.
If you have a keen sense of archeology , then there is an area where you can piece together shards of pottery from a dig in Amsterdam. Great for kids! And the staff likes to interact with the public. So, don't be shy!
The building itself has some lovely views of the canals and the typical street scenes of Amsterdam. And because the museum is centrally located and not busy, it's the perfect place for getting a bit of culture between meals or visiting other parts of the city. The temporary exhibition shows the social life of Amsterdam through the ages.
When this review was written, they were doing some renovations and to compensate for the closed off areas, they gave us a free drink coupon for the museum cafe.
Definitely worth a visit!
Rather small but with a nice collection of ancient stuffs from Greek, Roman and Egyptian cultures.
Museum is a mess. Route is very confusing, construction works everywhere and empty cases. Wouldn’t recommend.
