The audio clicker gives you more background information for each of the areas. During my visit, there were pieces from Kehinde Wiley which initially confused me because it seemed so out of place, but honestly looked amazing in such a contrasting setting (historical house). You can go as quickly or slowly as you want at this museum, depending on your interest. I personally just liked walking through all the rooms and reading/listening to snippets that interested me (~45-60 minutes), but you can also do a more thorough visit. Overall, I had a good experience at Museum van Loon.

The fee for the…read moremuseum was reasonable but it was disappointing that they charge for the audio guide which I felt should've been included. Overall I enjoyed learning the history and different periods of which women used handbags. It was so cool to see the historical purses to the modern purses. There were some very unique and handbags to check out on all floors. Wow, if I had more room in my suitcase I could've definitely purchased a bag or two in their gift shop that had some cool handbags for sale. I would recommend this place for those interested in purses. It wont take too much time out of your day.

One of the many things I love about Amsterdam, is there's a museum for almost any interest. I…read morehappen to be quite obsessed with handbags and purses. Enter the Tassenmuseum! A small museum, located on the "Gentleman's Graacht" in Amsterdam's canal district, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This museum is fascinating, and the exhibits are incredibly well designed. It takes the history of purses and bags back to the 1600s, when men were all about the purse. Another plus is that it's in an old canal house, which is fascinating all on it's own as a place to explore. The collection is enormous, and extremely well curated and researched. I was completely absorbed, as was my boyfriend! I loved the exhibits that displayed famous women's purses, and the contents! Haven't you always wondered what the Queen of England and Princess Grace carry around in their purse? I know I have, and now I know! Learned a new Dutch word: MANNENTASSEN = man bag! Why should the ladies have all the fun, and why should men overstuff their pockets? The museum is a perfect size, as you can spend a couple hours here, before "museum fatigue" sets in, and still feel like you saw everything, and learned some things. The café attached is elegant and sunny. The service is a little slow, but who minds, as you get to hang out in a beautifully appointed canal house. The gift shop is the best part!!! Many purses for sale, from high end, to bags for people like me. Accessories, fun doo-dads and other relevant miscellania are on offer. So worth a visit. I loved it!

This museum happened to be free the other day so I ventured in to check it out. I was not…read moreimpressed but I am also not much of a modern art fan either. I thought the place was rather small with not many exhibits. A lot of things would take up entire rooms all by themselves. I usually like to browse around in museums but I walked through the whole thing in about 10 minutes. I even walked around a bit extra because I thought to myself, that can't be all, well it was. I'm really glad I did not pay for this. But maybe if you are a love of modern art like the other review for this place then maybe it is something you would like.

It's family-friendly (of an exhibit is creepy, you can usually bypass it for an "easy mode" version), and it's chock-full of interesting things. In addition to impressive artwork (the robots are WILD), there are interesting historical and cultural displays, interactive exhibits (hello, alien autopsy room), and examples of everything from the whimsical to the macabre. (Something for everyone.) Everyone there is very nice and helpful. They'll tell you what something is, snap a picture for you, and generally do what they can to make the experience awesome. There's also a great cafe, perfect for refreshing yourself after you've made your way up all the stairs.

The museum is quite expansive--my visit took more than two hours, but it would have easily stretched beyond three had I not been strapped for time, as the collection includes hundreds of vehicles (some of them quite notable) across companies and regions! My only disappointment was the general absence of many modern-day cars (don't expect to find Ferrari's Big Five or the Holy Trinity, for example).

Frans Hals wasn't initially on my radar, but I fell in love with some of his paintings during my visit to the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam. His lively brushwork and sense of humor definitely catch the eye! However, be warned that majority of this collection isn't actually Frans Hals: unlike the Van Gogh Museum, which is probably 80-90% Van Gogh, here there's one main room with about 12-15 of his major works, and the rest of the collection is from other Dutch contemporaries. Don't get me wrong, the rest of the museum is still entertaining. The galleries are beautiful, with a nice combination of sculpture, decorative arts, and paintings. And there are convenient lockers for storing your belongings while you browse! It's a cool experience to view some of Frans Hals' classic pieces in the town where he lived and worked. But since this is a smaller museum with a narrow focus, I wouldn't dedicate more than an hour or two to your visit.

The lady who helped us was quite accommodating and nice, and she made it more fun. Good thing I had my email with me from booking the appointment which I pre-paid for, because she didn't see it in her system for some reason. After the photos, we visited the museum (included in the I Amsterdam pass) and got to look at a number of fun costumes and hats, including some modern reinterpretations of old style Dutch hats. It's a petite museum, so it wouldn't take too long to go through, but if you enjoy fashion and clothing, this is worth a stop in to check it out. The photos are either 30 or 35 Euros and can accommodate large groups or families. I enjoyed getting to try on the wooden shoes, and learning that farmers would do field work in these shoes, because their feet stayed dry and warm. And they did seem to stay warm in those shoes, so learned something new there.
