ATTRACTION
Rijksmuseum
Rijksmuseum is the country's premier art museum and
an easy place to overdose on old masters. The museum contains
Amsterdam's greatest art and historical collections . As well
as works by Rembrandt, Vermeer, Hals and Steen, there are
dollhouses, delftware, Asiatic art, changing displays of prints
and drawings and special travelling exhibitions. The museum
is far too big to absorb in one visit- it pays to be selective
and you can return as often as you like for free if you invest
a Museumjaarkaart, or Museum Card.
Vincent Van Gogh Museum
The museum nearby houses the collection of some 200
paints and 600 drawings by Van Gogh. It begins with his early
studies of pleasant life painted in 1884-1885 and ends with
the tortured paintings that he produced in 1889-1890, prior
to his suicide. The extraordinarily vivid paintings from his
time in Arles are the highlight.
Anne
Frankhuis
One of the last entries in Anne Frank's world famous
diary reads : " I want to live on after my death".
That wish , at least has been achieved and the Anne Frank
House, in west of the centre, now attracts more than half
a million visitors a year. This was the place that the Jewish
Frank family went into hiding to try to escape deportation
during the Nazi occupation of the Netherlands. Anne's diary
was found among the litter in the annexe and has since been
translated into 55 languages. It's essential to go early in
the day to avoid long queues and crowded room.
