Museumplein
Totally redesigned in 2000, the Museumplein is more of a park than a square. On the plein you find the Van Gogh, Stedelijk en Rijksmuseum as well as an Albert Hein shop. Sigourney: Net helemaal opnieuw ingericht, heeft dit plein het hart van Amsterdam verroverd. In de AH eronder kun je boodschappen doen voor een picknick in het gras. 's zomers worden hier allerlei culturele evenementen georganieseerd. Als er niets te doen is kun je pootjebaden in de vijver of kijken naar de halsbrekende toeren van de skaters in de halfpipe. Op dit plein vindt je ook een van de
Amsterdam - Museums
Amsterdam has several excellent museums and two of the best are next to each other. The Van Gogh Museum is a must for anyone interested in the artists work. It houses some of his most famous masterpieces beginning with his time in Holland to the period of his death in France. On the same square is the 250-room Rijksmuseum, which contains among its treasures a handful of exquisite Vermeers and one of the best Rembrandt collections in the world. "The Night Watch" is exhibited in the Hall of Honor and is most definitely a "work of art". Astonishing

Van Gogh
This is one the most popular museums in Amsterdam and not for nothing. It really is a nice museum. The paintings tell the story of Van Goghs tragic life, from his start in the Netherlands to his brilliant time in France.
The Van Gogh Museum first opened its doors in 1973. The building, designed by Dutch architect Gerrit Rietveld, houses the world's largest collection of works by Vincent van Gogh: some 200 paintings, 500 drawings and 700 letters, as well as the artist's own collection of Japanese prints.
The collection originally belonged to Theo van Gogh (1857-1891), Vincent's younger brother. Following
Ajax Museum
A bit of a rip off. Displays different things from the history of Ajax but you have to be a big fan to think its worth you money and time. The stadium istelf is quite nice, though.
Sigourney says: The stadium is impressive, but the museum is just for real fans. I thought it was a rip-off.
