I really enjoyed visiting here - it was truly fascinating to see how the body works, it was interesting to have different elements of the body systems on different floors. Some very interesting exhibitions and interactive pieces to engage in. The staff were helpful, and it was very clean throughout. Really glad that I took time to visit here on my holiday to Amsterdam, a very interesting day trip.

Amsterdam Dungeon was an amazing experience for me because it was very thrilling due to the way the characters who were speaking to use were dressed and the way they spoke. The timing of everything was really perfect and it scared me a lot there were many of jump scares. The acting was absolutely amazing as well! The Dutch have some dark history and the Amsterdam Dungeon has definitely captured it. This is a must visit attraction if you are in Amsterdam!

VISITING YAB YUM POSSIBLE AGAIN! The world famous and former brothel Yab Yum opens its doors to a wider audience. The well-known 17th-century building with the green lantern on the 'Singel' in Amsterdam has been transformed into a fascinating concept: YAB YUM Unlocked. Recently, the genuine YAB YUM feeling is brought back to life. YAB YUM Unlocked is a wonderful exhibition and a 'Real Life Club Experience' at the same time. YAB YUM Unlocked takes you back to the years during which YAB YUM was famous all over the world. How it all came about, who visited and why was the club so popular? You'll visit the luxurious bar and famous 'caviar room', you'll see how founder Theo Heuft ever got the idea and how the club became one of the biggest status symbols for straight arrows and hoodlums alike. It also takes you behind the scenes of this well-organized company, a booming enterprise with an annual turnover of millions.

Reviewed By JamesLumley2013 - London, United Kingdom
A really well put together museum. History of the famous royal delft blue pottery. Brilliant opening video and further audio visuals at he start of the self guided audio tour. A full explanation of the history of the company and how it has changed through the centuries. Many very high quality pottery items on display, some on loan from the royal family. A short tour of the working factory was fantastic, especially seeing the craftsman at work painting the items. A large proportion of heir collection is still hand painted. Don’t forget to visit the shop with items for all wallet sizes. The cafe sells tea, coffee, snacks and light lunches in/on delicate delft pottery.
8. Sexmuseum Amsterdam Venustempel

Reviewed By nickieohara - Blackburn, United Kingdom
For 5€ it's well worth a visit. It is the world's first and oldest sex museum and is packed literally to the rafters (the museum covers four floors) with the most extensive collection of erotic displays, artifacts, paintings, photographs and more. It's not often you find yourself leaning in for a closer look at a model of a couple "fornicating" because the information card provides an unusual fact about that particular piece, only to actually laugh out loud at the next showcase and then move to another room to find interactive displays of flashers and prostitutes at work alongside vases made from models of penises and so much more. I bloody loved this museum and could have spent loads more time in there!
