The history and art of Amsterdam:

The Amsterdam Historical Museum is a museum of history and art. It tells the story of Amsterdam using a variety of presentation techniques.

These programs contain hundreds of photos and around 225 fragments of historic film, documentaries and movies from Dutch archives.

The purpose of the Amsterdam Historical Museum is to conserve, preserve, selectively expand and display and present the historical collection of the city of Amsterdam for as broad a public as possible. The Amsterdam Historical Museum attempts also to provide an insight into the way contemporary society works, for which knowledge of the past is essential.
