Our main location on Kalverstraat is being renovated.

The New Amsterdam Museum

The Amsterdam Museum's main location is housed in a beautiful historic building in the city center on Kalverstraat: the former Burgerweeshuis (civilian orphanage). With a design by architectural firm Neutelings Riedijk Architects, we are literally building our dream. A city museum for the future, which does justice to the rich history of the building but also looks to today and tomorrow.
