This exhibit seemed to be a hidden gem, I saw only four visitors during our 2 hour stay. Because each piece was so intricate and small, the small crowd allowed us to really take our time and appreciate the art. The work itself is mindblowing, incredible pieces of art on the teeniest, tiniest, oddest of canvases. A MUST SEE!!!
2. Museum Ons'Lieve Heer Op Solder

4.5 based on 3,372 reviews
In the heart of Amsterdam's bustling centre lies one of the city's oldest museums: Museum Our Lord in the Attic. Here visitors get to experience the Dutch Golden Age in a special way: a 17th-century house with a top floor converted into a Catholic church.

Amazing to find what was hidden behind the facade of an old Dutch house bordering one of the canals. Fascinating insight into the life of the house from the 1600s to sometime in the 1800s with the family rooms, storage rooms and at the top of the house, a complete church. We wandered around up and down steep stairs, with our audio guides in hand which we found extremely helpful. Wonderful experience and one not to be missed!

Ripley's Believe It or Not! was a lot of fun and very intersting. Normaly our 16 year old son does not want to enter a museum, but this want was even for him very interesting. The most fascinating thing for me was the shrunken heads..

Established by Ben Dronkers in 1985, the Hash, Marihuana &Hemp Museum is a tribute to the history of hemp and cannabis. What the museum offers its visitors is an insight into the history of one of the world's most commonly used drugs. The Hash, Marihuana & Hemp Museum also holds a carefully chosen selection of items from the world's largest collection of cannabis-related objects, the result of over a decade of collecting different kinds of objects associated with the cannabis plant. The Museum is not only of interest to cannabis users, but caters to those who are interested in learning about the plant, and even those who are simply curious about the relationship between its industrial and psychoactive varieties. With this extra-ordinary exhibition, the Hash, Marihuana & Hemp Museum definitely makes the list of Amsterdam attractions that tourists should not miss visiting.

We were visiting Amsterdam during Christmas break and found this place a bit by accident. It was well worth the visit. They had lots of cool info and artifacts. It was amazing to see all the things that can be made with hemp including an electric scooter!

Getting to know all the history and bittersweet work that goes on around Red Light District, it completes a whole experience of understanding the concept, the history, real life testimonials, and so much more!

We came in on a rainy evening when it was too cold to do anything around town - but ended up having an awesome time filled with laughter and awe!
