Our main location in the former Burgerweeshuis on Kalverstraat is being renovated and redesigned. The aim is to make the building - our most important collection piece - better, more accessible, more spacious, and more sustainable. A city museum of the future that does justice to the rich history of the building but also looks to today and tomorrow. We cannot realize this new Amsterdam Museum without your support. Help us, join us, build and think with us!

With your contribution, we engage new generations of Amsterdammers with their city and its history through education, participation, co-creation, and encounters. In this way, our museum grows along with the city. 

By contributing to acquisitions and restorations, you are actively helping to build and pass on Amsterdam's city collection. 

Restauration project: Masterpiece of Hendrik Cornelisz. Vroom

Thanks to your contribution, we bring knowledge to life: in exhibitions and publications. In collaboration with researchers, partners, and the public, we are building a city museum that continues to share, discover, and innovate.

One of the Amsterdam Museum's special locations is House Willet-Holthuysen (built in 1687), an impressive double mansion on Herengracht, in the heart of the city. In the 19th century, it was inhabited by Louisa Willet-Holthuysen (1824–1895) and her husband Abraham Willet (1825–1888), who decorated the house in the then popular Neo-Louis XVI style and collected an impressive collection of art and objects.
