Have you always wanted to create your own portrait for a museum? Do you wonder what it's like to experience ASMR in the middle of iconic pieces of fashion? Maybe you want to test your knowledge about Amsterdam? Experience it all during Museumnacht 2024 at the Amsterdam Museum.
On this page you can find all the evening's activities. During Museumnacht the museum is opened from 7.00 PM to 2.00 AM.
Speedtours
19.00 - 02.00 uur - every half hour
Do you want to take a flight through the stories of Amsterdam? Join a Speed Tour through Panorama Amsterdam every half hour. Hear the stories of our city from the past, present and future. The first part of the exhibition is a chronological history of Amsterdam, from the 16th century until today. The second part addresses what is important to the city as it is now. This covers themes and subjects that are not (yet) part of the traditional canon. We are constantly gathering not only the history but also the present and future of the city. Because history is being written at every moment.
Tip: These tours are the perfect preparation for the Amsterdam Pub Quiz Marathon later in the evening!
Pubquiz Marathon
19.30 - 00.30 uur (every 40 minutes, full=full)
Do you know what "Mataglap" means? Which museums does the H'ART Museum collaborate with? And which location of the Amsterdam Museum is currently being renovated? The Amsterdam Museum and H'ART Museum join forces in the old church hall of Amstel 51. Enjoy a pikketanussie and a broodje bal sandwich in our brown pub while you blabber on about art and Amsterdam facts. There is a different theme with a new host every hour.
Whether you are a true Amsterdammer, a culture lover or just join for the vibes, this is your time to shine!
Workshop: Create a wine label with Flessie
19.00 - 01.00 uur - ongoing
Why are women so often invisible in the story of Amsterdam? The Amsterdam Museum wants to change that. Design your unique, hand-painted wine label together with Flessie as an ode to an Amsterdam woman. Cheers to all women!
Flessie is a concept that creates personalized, hand-drawn labels for wine and more, capturing your unique stories and memories.
ASMR-TALK: Unboxing
Times will follow
*whispers* Listen and discover how museums store and present pieces of fashion in an ASMR-talk, in which the soft sounds and stories take you on a journey behind the screens of our collection and the exhibition Unboxing: Fashion from the Archives. The mini-exhibition Unboxing: Fashion from the Archives shows samples from the museum’s fashion collection and explores how such collections can be presented in new ways. From a 16th-century breastplate and new acquisitions by leading Amsterdam designers like Mohamed Benchellal and Tess van Zalinge, to the Pink Feather Explosion dress by David Laport, worn by pop icon Rihanna.
ASMR (Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response) ensures a calming experience by using subtle sounds such as whispering, touch and fabrics that stimulate your senses; be at ease as you listen to the rustle of acid-free paper.
Photobooth: Women of Mokum
19.00 - 00.00 uur - ongoing
Step into our time machine and transform yourself into a legendary woman of Amsterdam! In this photo booth, you can dress up as a historical power woman and take an iconic photo to take home. Immortalize yourself so that we don't forget the historical women. Of course all gender identities are welcome to step into the timemachine.
Between Art & Kitsch: fashion edition
21.00 uur, 22.00 uur, 00.00 uur
With fashion and style we say who we are, what time we live in, and what group we want to belong to. And also what we stand for, what we believe in, and where we want to go. From the moment a piece of clothing enters a museum collection, it assumes a different function. Specialists care for it, and it is studied together with the corresponding communities. Occasionally, it is exhibited to the public. Who decides what is of value in a museum?
How much is the cap you are wearing worth? Or your shoulder bag that you wear every day? And that dress Rihanna once wore? Take a seat at the special Between Art & Kitsch table and find out by talking to fashion and museum experts about your everyday clothing items.
Workshop: Create an ode to a woman of Amsterdam
19.00 - 02.00 uur - ongoing
Will you contribute to the new exhibition Women of Amsterdam - an ode? Together with the help of various writers, you pay tribute to a woman who meant something to Amsterdam and complete the story of the city! Your ode will become part of the collection of the Amsterdam Museum.
This workshop is part of the project Women of Amsterdam - an Ode, to mark Amsterdam's 750th anniversary. It kicked off on 8 March 2024 on International Women's Day. From that date, we call on everyone to make an ode to a woman who is (has been) important for the city of Amsterdam. Anyone can participate. The form of an ode is free.
Rather not write an ode, but draw it? Then join the workshop by Flessie where you can design your own winelabel.
Foxy Ladies: Scavenger hunt: Look for women from Amsterdam in the Museum
19.00 - 01.00 uur - ongoing
Discover the forgotten women of Amsterdam! Look for hints in paintings, objects and stories within the museum using your booklet. Will you find all the women and their stories? You might win a very special prize...
Untold Restored
19.00 - 02.00 uur - ongoing
Seven young adults have designed a card game and an augmented reality tour for the Untold Restored program. Who made the city what it is today? Which people were important and why? The augmented reality tour brings the stories behind the artworks to life. By playing the card game you will learn more about art, Amsterdam and how a museum works in an interactive way: for example, why are you not allowed to enter the museum with your bag, how does a museum collect art and whose art actually belongs to?
Come experience the card game for the first time and who knows, maybe you'll walk away with a win!
Workshop: Faces of Today with Sioe Jeng Tsao (SEEYOUSIOE)
19.30 uur, 20.30 uur en 21.30 uur
Do you often feel unrepresented in museums? Many historical portraits show mostly white men and traditional stories. In the Faces of North Holland exhibition, we broke this narrative by collecting new faces and stories that show the province's diversity.
In this workshop with artist Sioe Jeng Tsao (SEEYOUSIOE) - illustrator, writer and activist - we will work together to create new portraits that tell your story and celebrate the diversity of our communities. Draw a portrait that contributes to a museum where everyone is visible and heard!
Will we see you November 2nd?
