The Amsterdam Museum is a city museum, where you can have an overview of the entire city of Amsterdam and learn about its past and present. Historical background The Amsterdam Museum, formerly known as the Amsterdam History Museum, was established in 1926 in the Waag ancient building until 1975 when it moved to a special building complex that was originally an orphanage between Kalverstraat and NieuwezijdsVoorburgwal, and in 2011 It was officially renamed the Amsterdam Museum in 2008. The museum has three floors. The exhibition halls are arranged in chronological order (from the Middle Ages to modern times), displaying architectural models, maps, paintings, archaeological discoveries, etc. The exhibits are very rich, witnessing the process of Amsterdam's growth from a small medieval town to a modern metropolis . The "Amsterdam DNA" exhibition area is here to better understand the history and culture of the entire city of Amsterdam, and have a deeper insight into the life of the city of Amsterdam and the citizens who live there. The exhibition area of the Little Orphanage In the exhibition area of the Little Orphanage, you can experience the scene of an orphanage in the 17th century. The courtyard is equipped with classrooms, canteens, bedrooms, kitchens, toilets, and cattle stalls. Visitors can deeply experience the life of the orphanage at that time.
