Amsterdam Travel Guide

The Best Museums

by Frommers Travel Guides

Rijksmuseum: The State Museum houses some of Holland's most important artworks: Rembrandt's world-famous The Night Watch, four of Vermeer's miniatures, and numerous pieces by Frans Hals. In all, this is one of the world's most impressive Old Masters collections.
Van Gogh Museum: The world's largest collection of Vincent's works is housed here -- some 200 paintings and 500 drawings -- ranging from Sunflowers to earless self-portraits. Here, you can trace this great, tragic painter's artistic and psychological development.
Anne Frankhuis: The clear and haunting words of a young Jewish girl trying to survive and grow in unimaginable circumstances have moved millions since they were first published in the aftermath of World War II. It's a melancholy but unforgettable experience to spend a reflective moment in Anne Frank's stark hideout from Nazi terror.
