Amsterdam gay tourist guide

Museums and sightseeing

Amsterdam has many museums. The most famous ones are the Rijksmuseum, where you'll be able to see the world famous Nightwatch by Rembrandt and the Van Gogh Museum, with the world's largest collection of works by the Dutch 19th century painter. At the Amstel river you'll find the new Hermitage, the Dutch branch of the famous Hermitage in St. Petersburg, Russia.

For more contemporary art you can visit the Stedelijk Museum which is temporarily located near Amsterdam Central Station, as the main building is being renovated.

Are you into wax? The Amsterdam branch of Madame Tussauds on the Dam square gives you the opportunity to meet the wax versions of famous people from around the world and Holland in person.
Amsterdam also has a variety of other museums to explore, like the Heineken Experience or the recently opened Handbag Museum (Tassenmuseum), which is very popular with the gay tourists.
