Eye - The film museum After moving to its current location in April 2012, This Museum functions as an archive, an educational centre, a movie theatre and also features changing exhibitions about everything you could connect with films. It's located on the Noord - the Northern part of Amsterdam and to get to it you'll need to take a (FREE) ferry from the Central station which is a nice 2 minute sail. http://www.eyefilm.nl/en

Stedelijk Museum This museum was renovated for the past few years and reopened in 2013 featuring a new wing added to the old building. The museum has a collection of modern and contemporary art and design. Conveniently located in the Museums Square (Museumplein), next to the Van Gogh museum, the town's classical music hall (Het Concertgebouw) and other interesting museums and sights. http://www.stedelijk.nl/en

Van Gogh Museum This museum has a very large permanent collection of Van Gogh's paintings and letters (most of his works are exhibited here). The museum also exhibits a changing collection room that usually features exhibits of other expressionist artists. If you like music and partying, every Friday night the museum is open until 10 PM and a live DJ set/live performance begins at 6 PM. http://www.vangoghmuseum.nl/vgm/index.jsp?lang=en

Foam - Fotography Museum This rather small museum has great exhibitions. The curators of this museum have a great eye for talents and are not afraid to give speech to controversial artists and subjects. http://www.foam.org/about/museum

The Anne Frank House Almost everybody knows the story of Anne Frank and the museum located at her hiding place (and the long queue next to it). Usually less known is the contribution this museum has for preserving the parts of history that Europe would rather forget. The Research and Education efforts this museum make are worthy of admiration. The tour through the annex is not a happy or easy experience but it has a great value - it really helps you appreciate life, freedom and family. Make you sure you buy tickets in advance to avoid the great queue at the entrance. http://www.annefrank.org/en/Museum/

The Rijksmuseum Holland's National museum is packed with so many things it can and will make your head spin. However it is home to the finest paintings ever made. Leave enough time to really soak in and appreciate Rembrandt's 'NIght Watch' as it is one of the greatest achievements of mankind. https://www.rijksmuseum.nl/en
